Book Launch for Disability Worlds, by Faye Ginsburg & Rayna Rapp (Duke University Press, 2024)

May 16, 2024 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Book cover for Disability Worlds, featuring a photo of Samantha Myers, a young white woman with short light brown hair, sitting in her wheelchair on a New York City street in front of a large graffiti of brightly-colored large wings painted on dark brown wood. Her arms are raised to match the shape of the wings, as if she is about to fly. She wears a dark red face mask over her mouth and nose. The lower third of the cover has a bright pink background with the title Disability Worlds in white serif type. Underneath the title, in the same white serif type but a smaller size are the names of the authors, Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp, against a lighter pink background.
