Disability Narratives and Research-Creation

What happens when illness changes the trajectory of a career? How can disability and chronic pain become generative experiences? And how can we reshape the way we think about disability to better live with differences in and beyond the academy?

In this episode of “Meeting Street,” disability scholar Emily Lim Rogers, a postdoctoral fellow at the Cogut Institute, talks with Megan Moodie, an anthropologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz. They explore what it means to work at the intersection of academic and creative practice, the power of art to articulate and build community around illness, and the need for new paradigms of accessibility.
