Abstract

This paper uses the concepts of "goodness" and "smartness" to analyze how a an operant conditioning technique called the "good behavior game" transforms these attributes into commodity forms that work to capacitate certain bodies and to incapacitate others, demonstrating the interdependence of disability and race in advancing the project of white supremacy.
