This roundtable features three speakers who, in presenting their current research, will reflect upon the past, present, and future of theorizing and organizing at the intersection of queerness and disability. In what ways have theorizing and activism around queerness and disability influenced, shaped, and challenged each other? How, if in any way, do conversations and movements around queerness and disability continue to occlude consideration of each other? What would it mean to imagine a future in which questions around queerness and disability are centered and considered intersectionally?
