Talk by David T. Mitchell, The George Washington University
Through developing educational content, Disability Studies can help restore an understanding of disability as historically pervasive, trans-national in scope, and culturally significant to the ways in which populations imagine themselves. As a pedagogical approach, Disability Studies offers up ways of legitimating the lives of those occupying peripheral embodiments - alternative, non-normative modes of being-in-the-world.
David Mitchell and his partner Sharon Snyder co-authored four books and more than 30 essays on various aspects of disability culture, art, education, and history. In the mid-1990s they founded the independent production company, Brace Yourselves Productions, and are the creators of 4 award winning documentary films.
Sign language interpretation and personal assistance will be provided.
