This discussion on Aesthetics and Politics in Action was the morning panel
at The Scholar and Feminist Conference 2011 - Movements:
Poltics, Performance and Disability. This panel examines
cultural, historical and transnational constructions of
disability. Making connections between cultural production, performance,
aesthetics, activism and scholarship, panelists explore the many
contributions of disability activists to social justice. Following introductory remarks
by Janet Jakobsen, Rosemarie Garland-Thomson moderates the discussion which features
Carrie Sandahl, Alice Sheppard, Susan Schweik, and Nirmala Ervelles.
