Book talk:
'Activist Affordances: How Disabled People Improvise More Habitable Worlds'
With Arseli Dokumacı, Assistant Professor, Director, Access in the Making (AIM) Lab, Concordia University
For people who are living with disability, including various forms of chronic diseases and chronic pain, daily tasks like lifting a glass of water or taking clothes off can be difficult if not impossible. In Activist Affordances, Dokumacı draws on ethnographic work with differently disabled people whose ingenuity, labor, and artfulness allows them to achieve these seemingly simple tasks. Disabled people’s activist affordances present the potential for a more liveable and accessible world for all of us.
