Virtual Launch Party: Disability Studies Quarterly 41, no. 4 – INDIGENEITY & DISABILITY NYU’s Center for Disability Studies and Native Studies Forum: A virtual launch party to celebrate a special issue of Disability Studies Quarterly 41, no. 4 INDIGENEITY & DISABILITY Kinship, Place, and Knowledge-Making
This special issue considers reciprocity as a question, practice, and aspiration. What is possible when we Indigenize disability studies (DST) and when we fully embed disability studies in Native American Indigenous studies (NAIS)? The contributors come from wide-ranging locations inside and outside of academic worlds, across Turtle Island and beyond. The twenty-four pieces include personal narratives, photo essays, museum reviews, creative reflections, collaborative research, and community-based history. This issue was created in the hopes of sparking more coalitional, cross-disciplinary, and broad public collective learning.
