    Thinking About Disability All Along the Way

    Lecture by Dr. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson

    The academic field we now call critical disability studies developed in the last decades of the twentieth century from sociology, medical anthropology, and healthcare fields into a fuller disciplinary knowledge enterprise, complete with academic specializations, degree programs, academic journals, conferences, professional organizational structures, and broad recognition as a useful competence in employment. This lecture traces this knowledge emergence and some of the work it does in the world.

    When: Tuesday, September 12th, 2023
    Where: UCHI Conference Room (Homer Babbidge Library, 4th floor)
    Time: 3:30-4:30PM, followed by light reception until 5:00PM
