SUMMARY:DISABILITY WORLDS: A reading and discussion with Faye Ginsburg\, Rayna Rapp and Mara Mills @ NYU Center for the Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 4th | 6:00 pm EST\nNYU Center for the Humanities\, Room 531\n20 Cooper Square\, NYC\nFor in-person or virtual attendance.\nZoom link will be sent to registrants the day of the event.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a brief reading from the new book Disability Worlds (2024\, Duke University Press) with authors Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp (NYU Anthropology) followed by a discussion with Mara Mills (NYU MCC and Director\, Center for Disability Studies). \nDisability Worlds chronicles authors Faye Ginsburg and Rayna Rapp’s immersion in NYC’s wide-ranging disability worlds as parents\, activists\, anthropologists\, and disability studies scholars. Disability consciousness\, they show\, emerges in everyday politics\, practices\, and frictions\, from genetic testing to the reimagining of kinship\, and the perils of what some call “the disability cliff”\, while highlighting the remarkable world-changing creativity of neurodiversity activists and disabled artists.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisitor Access & Registration\nCART provided.
