Summary: "Drawing on survey and interview data with more than three hundred disabled employees in higher education, Crip Spacetime demonstrates that individual accommodations-the dominant system of achieving access in most Western academic colleges and universities-actually impedes access rather than enhancing it. This book is the story of how disability accommodation becomes destructive. It is also the story of what it means to be disabled as a US academic in this moment, and the paradoxical hyper- and in-visibility that entails. The "Crip spacetime" of the title refers to the different realities occupied by disabled individuals that change the material-discursive relationships to the university. Margaret Price charts the ways in which efforts to broaden access increase inequity, and theorizes that the ideological focus on individual disabled bodies ignores the relations, systems, objects and discourses the structure disability. The book draws on crip-of-color critique, critical disability studies, and material rhetorics to highlight the knowledge that disabled academics already possess about how they perceive and occupy academic time and space differently-spaces constituted by harm, time eaten up in accommodations loops-and propose modes of collective accountability to improve future conditions"-- Provided by publisherPPN: PPN: 1916209580Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
