Intersectional Disability Justice Critical Autoethnographic Counter-Histories as Living Archive

Sat, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm PDT (11:45am to 1:15pm PDT), Los Angeles Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 511AB

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In this symposium, we reflect on the global hegemonic structures that uphold white, able-bodied, and minded ways of knowing that are sustained in educational institutions. Grounded in the belief that history is a living archive, each author employs critical auto/duoethnography to examine how disability, intersecting with identity markers such as race/ethnicity, gender, occupation, and familial roles, both shapes and is shaped by institutional structures in the United States, while also exposing global hegemonic logics. In this current moment of polycrisis, it is imperative to foreground disabled lived experiences and discuss the far-reaching implications. We commit to a methodology that places our counter-histories into conversation that forges an analytic space where policy critics, pedagogical practice, and emancipatory praxis intersect.
