The third and final installment of the series on Disability Studies (DS) organized by the Graduate Center for Literary Research, the “Cripping UCSB” Distinguished Faculty Lecture will be delivered by Dr. Tanya Titchkosky, Professor in Social Justice Education at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto. Her lecture is entitled “Humanity’s Edge: Encounters though Disability Studies” and will take place November 10, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm PST on Zoom.
The event will take place virtually, on Zoom (with closed captioning), and have an ASL interpreter. All are welcome to attend.
Dr. Titchkosky has extensively taught and written in the area of disability studies for more than twenty years. Her approach to Disability Studies (DS) is informed by cultural studies and interpretive sociology supported by Black, feminist, and queer studies of a phenomenological ilk. She is concerned with how human lives are made meaningful and how University work and life produces particularly limited and limiting conceptions of disability and humanity. Some of her books include *Disability, Self, and Society* (2003), *Reading and Writing Disability Differently* (2007) and *The Question of Access: Disability, Space, Meaning* (2011).
