Description
We invite you to the CETLSS Zoom book club to discuss Jay Dolmage's book, Academic Ableism. Here is a description of the book from The University of Michigan Press:
"Academic Ableism brings together disability studies and institutional critique to recognize the ways that disability is composed in and by higher education, and rewrites the spaces, times, and economies of disability in higher education to place disability front and center. Examining everything from campus accommodation processes, to architecture, to popular films about college life, Dolmage argues that disability is central to higher education, and that building more inclusive schools allows better education for all."
Here is our plan for the semester Mondays, 3-4pm on Zoom: January 27th - welcome, discuss Introduction February 10th - discuss Ch 1 February 24th - discuss Ch 2 March 24th - discuss Ch 3 April 7th - discuss Ch 4 April 21st - discuss Ch 5
Please join us for as many sessions as you are able. The book is available for free as an e-book from the AppState library or via kindle and google play. The audiobook can also be downloaded for free on audible.
