SUMMARY:Care at the End of the World: Dreaming of Infrastructure in Crip-of-Color Writing
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nHow can feminist-of-color disability politics help us navigate contemporary crises of care and decimated social safety nets? Join Sami Schalk and Jina B. Kim for a discussion of Jina’s new book\, Care at the End of the World: Dreaming of Infrastructure in Crip-of-Color Writing (Duke UP\, 2025)\, which examines the imaginative work of disabled\, queer\, and feminist of color literary visionaries writing after major U.S. welfare reform. Together\, Schalk and Kim will foreground the necessity of a disability approach to challenging U.S. infrastructural violence and manufactured scarcity\, and highlight the imaginative blueprints for survival left by radical writers of color such as Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Octavia Butler. Moderated by Mara Mills. \nEvent is free and open to the public but requires registration.\nASL and live captions will be provided.\nPlease email accessibility needs as they relate to this\nevent to msf440@nyu.edu. \nUse coupon code E25JBKIM to save 30% when you order Care at the End of the World: Dreaming of Infrastructure in Crip-of-Color Writing from dukeupress.edu. \n\nSpeaker Bios: \n\nJina B.
