Episode Notes

We've CRACKed America! In this episode we speak with Dr Travis Chi Wing Lau, queer, crip, cat-dad and current Assistant Professor of English at Kenyon College, Ohio. In this week's episode we find out why anti-vaccination sentiment is just one more thing we can blame Victorians for, which COVID-19 vaccine is the most queer, and whether or not our constant chat about our vaginas can officially be classified as Medical Humanities. We also talk about the private and public discourses of chronic pain and consider what the heck is going on with Super-crip discourses and the 'narrative prosthesis' of disabled characters.

You can follow Travis on Twitter @travisclau, or thirst over his very professional cardigan-wearing headshot here: https://travisclau.com/ For anyone looking for more crip-poetic content look no further than his most recent poetry collection Paring, available here: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/paring-by-travis-chi-wing-lau/
