(Dis)Ability, Intersectionality & State Violence
–
April 26, 2018
JOIN THE CONVERSATION: The sites, practices, and mechanisms most commonly associated with state violence provide a powerful lens for analyzing intersectionality across identities marked by ability, race, ethnicity, gender, class, age and other groups who experience heightened levels of vulnerability. This one-day symposium features presentations and performances by artists, scholars, community advocates and representatives of social service organizations to foster dialog around concerns with forms of vulnerability to violence that are generated, under-addressed or ignored by state institutions. Presenters will address the ways in which the conditions of schooling, psychiatric and other healthcare, policing, and incarceration, raise heightened concerns for the human rights of people at the intersection of minoritized identities and disability.
Keynote performance by Leroy Moore: “Slavery to Jim Crow to Ugly Laws to Surveillance”
Featured Talks and Roundtable Discussion with:
• Nirmala Erevelles Professor of Social and Cultural Studies in Education at the University of Alabama • Anna Mollow Author and Fat Studies/Disability scholar
