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.

SUMMARY:BOOK EVENT: THE DOCUMENTARY AUDIT
DESCRIPTION:BOOK LAUNCH EVENT \nFriday\, September 19\, 6:00–7:30 PM ET\nMichelson Theater\, 721 Broadway\,  6th floor\nAlso available via Zoom \nHow does listening in documentary become a proxy for justice—and what other kinds of listening might be possible? \nIn The Documentary Audit: Listening and the Limits of Accountability (Columbia University Press\, 2025)\, Pooja Rangan examines how documentary listening—through habits she calls neutral\, entitled\, and juridical—can reinforce structures of profiling\, exclusion\, and carceral capture\, even when framed as progressive or ethical. \nThis launch event brings together three respondents who take up the book’s invitation to think documentary and sound alongside raciolinguistics\, disability access activism\, and legal forensics: \n\nLakshmi Padmanabhan (Film Scholar\, Northwestern University)\nJordan Lord (Artist and Writer\, Colorado College)\nLaCharles Ward (Curator and Scholar\, Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture)\n\nTogether\, they will explore how to refuse listening habits that discipline and punish\, and how to reimagine accountability across media\, law\, and everyday life. \nFree and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nPlease email accessibility needs related to this event to cmc673@nyu.edu before Friday\, September 5\, 2025. \nUse coupon code CUP20 to save 20% when ordering The Documentary Audit from Columbia University Press. \nSPONSORS \nNYU Center for Media\, Culture\, and History\nColumbia University Press\nAmherst College\nNYU Center for Disability Studies\nNYU Martin Scorsese Department of Cinema Studies\n \nThis is an in-person event\, open to the public.
