A Kitchen-Table Talk Against Ableism
Residing in a fundamentally ableist society while disability justice tends to be rendered invisible in many movements for equity and collective liberation, we aim to challenge the existing knowledge of disability and discuss how these understandings play out in education, policy, and other public spaces. In this kitchen-table talk, we begin by reflecting on our own positionalities in relation to disability to re/imagine alternative definitions of…
The Political Economy of Disanimality
Answering Michael Lundblad’s call for critical disability, animality, and human-animal studies to come together in more productive ways, in this response essay I argue that the focus needs to be on the historical material conditions of transnational capitalism that enable the tripartite constitution of Otherness—be-coming disabled/be-coming animal/be-coming Black
Disability as meta curriculum
The field of critical curriculum studies is no longer bound by the limits of formal educational contexts. Its focus has expanded to foster complex and often contradictory expressions of democratic
Scenes of Subjection” in Public Education
In this presentation I trouble the ways that critical scholars of difference turn away from the spectral presence of disability in search of more empowering narratives. The alternative narratives they support recreate limiting theorizations of the human/posthuman that continue to support ableist representations of disability. Refusing this disavowal of disability, I insist on looking (not straight but queerly) at disability in a defiant refusal o…
What’s Disability Got To Do With It?’
This is the introductory article to a special issue that foregrounds the centrality of an intersectional and enmeshed disability studies as an analytical framework in educational studies. The guest coeditors note that there has been a paucity of articles published in this journal that engage critical disability studies. This has occurred despite the fact that disability, as a pivotal analytic, is deployed in educational contacts to often simultan…

Unexpected spaces of confinement
Giorgio Agamben describes the “camp” as the “zone of indistinction between law and violence” where bodies located in exceptional spaces are stripped of citizenship rights and embody “bare life.” We deploy Agamben’s analysis to the context of the everyday violence of aversive technologies meted out against students living at the dangerous intersections of race, class, gender, and disability and located in unexpected spaces of confinement such as s…
The Absent Presence of Elsie Lacks
In this paper, we offer a critical (crip) (re)reading of Rebecca Skloot's book, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" to foreground the complex ways in which disability as a central organizing logic intersects with race, class, and gender to animate a "haunting" narrative. By centering Elsie's narrative, we call upon disability studies scholars to continue to engage in the project of dismantling ableist, capitalist, white supremacy. As such we p…
Girlhood Studies and Disability in India
Disability, Girlhood, and Vulnerability in Transnational Contexts
When we first proposed this special issue on “Disability and Girlhood: Transnational Perspectives,” we had not yet realized how the urgency in the global humanitarian crises that has escalated in intensity and scope of violence in recent months would demand our thoughtful attention. These crises, the outcomes of social protest, wars, and genocidal acts in many parts of the world for over a decade, punctuated by the Paris bombings of November 2015…
Disability and Difference in Global Contexts
This book explores the possibilities and limitations re-theorizing disability using historical materialism in the interdisciplinary contexts of social theory, cultural studies, social and education po
Unspeakable Offenses
The Literature of Critical Race Feminist Theory approaches disability as an expression of intersectional identity wherein devalued social characteristics compound stigma resulting in so-called spirit murder. Three diverging practices of intersectionality are identified as guiding scholarship on the constitutive features of multiply minoritizing identities: (1) anticategorical frameworks that insist on race, class, and gender as social constructs/…
Understanding curriculum as normalizing text
Although post-structuralists within curriculum studies have examined many contexts of curriculum theory, they have been silent on disability. This silence is worthy of study, especially because of the growing significance of disability studies in the humanities and the social sciences. I question post-structuralist arguments in curriculum theory from the epistemological standpoint of disability studies. I extend the post-structuralist project of …
Towards an Enabling Education
These Deadly Times
Most pragmatic responses to school violence seek to assign individual blame and to instill individual responsibility in students. The authors of this article argue that school violence is the result of the structural violence of oppressive social conditions that force students (especially low-income, male African American and Latino students) to feel vulnerable, angry, and resistant to the normative expectations of prison-like school environments…
Voices of Silence
Reconceptualizing Inclusion
In this essay, we explore and expand the meaning of “inclusion,” as it relates specifically to the sports and recreation programs that are made available to students with mobility impairments enrolled at colleges and universities. In the first part of the essay we examine how the two disciplinary areas of disability sport and disability studies address the politics of inclusion. In the second section of the paper, we will use one public universit…
Educating Unruly Bodies
Disability and the Dialectics of Difference
This paper re-theorises disability by asking the following question: within what historical, social, economic and political conditions does disability as an analytic of difference get constructed in a dialectical relationship with gender, class, caste and race? To respond to this question, I will first offer a materialist reading of the category of disability. I will then situate this discussion in an ethnographic study of a voluntary organisatio…
