Questions That Matter: Disability in Medicine and Memoir
Presented by The Humanities Institute at UCSC. The café and bar will be open. Please click the 'Café Kuumbwa' button above for more information.
Featuring: Pranav Anand (UC Santa Cruz), Jan Grue (University of Oslo), Megan Moodie (UC Santa Cruz).
What does it mean to talk and write about the experiences of our bodies? How do the stories told about us mediate the narratives we construct? What are the stakes for disabled writers sharing their first-person perspectives with the world? In this dialogue with two scholars and memoirists of disability, we will explore how intellectual and aesthetic engagement with non-normative embodied life speaks to questions that matter — now more than ever.
