  1. '#Disability Studies & Phenomenology: The Carnal Politics of Everyday Life' (Paterson & Hughes, 1999) is *so useful* on #embodiment. Re-reading for an article. It's quite old, so prefigures later concepts without naming them (bodyminds, crip time) but it's so useful: on the social construction of bodyminds, the value (capital) given to some bodyminds over others, and how exclusion of disabled bodyminds works in practice. #AmReading #DisabilityTheory #AcademicChatter tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108

  2. (1/2) New #introduction for new instance! Bumbling around starting to get things figured out here.

    My scholarly interests are in #CriticalTheory, #IndigenousTheory, #DecolonialTheory, #BlackFeminism, #HipHop, #QueerTheory, #DisabilityTheory, #GenderTheory, #RaceTheory

    Mostly a #homemaker, though, help care for my nephew & nieces & my aunt. Also a #photographer (if it's people, I take pictures of them), and while I love #Portrait, I tend to do a lot of #conference & #events & #protests & such.

  3. Time for my own 'point me to my academics' post: Is anyone aware of people working in (or just interested in) #DisabilityStudies or #DisabilityTheory? I've followed some great #sociologists and a growing group of #religion scholars, but having more trouble finding people from my particular niche. #DisabilityTheology also welcome!

  4. Hi to all the academics who've kindly followed me! I'm a bit of an imposter from the independent research world (and still an ECR), but I always appreciate following sociologists/religious scholars/disability theorists etc, for the virtual watercooler I'm missing! My research interests are #SociologyOfReligion #DisabilityTheory & #ParticipatoryMethods, and I'm an activist and trainer in my other life. Looking forward to connecting.
