Join us for a round table discussion of the future of disability studies - and its relationship to disability access - at UC Davis. Our panel of esteemed scholars will discuss questions including: What is disability studies, and how is it related to disability activism? How does disability intersect with race, gender, sexuality, and immigration? What are emerging directions of study in the field? How does disability access in higher ed affect the study of disability and vice-versa? Speakers include Susan Schweik (English, UC Berkeley), Douglas Baynton (History, University of Iowa), Alison Kafer (Feminist Studies, Southwestern University), Adria Imada (History, UC Irvine), Molly McGarry (History, UC Riverside); facilitated by Ryan Lee Cartwright (American Studies, UC Davis.
