Cosponsored Events: Disability, Revolution? Access, Intersectionality, and Resistance in Disability Culture Dr. Robert Mcruer (Professor, George Washington University) Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic), Office of Equity Transformation Wednesday, March 6th from 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM in 409 Tier Building Dr. McRuer discusses the idea of “one-dimensional disability,” a disability identity that does not consider solidarity with other movements for social justice. In opposition to this, McRuer considers the vibrancy, intersectionality, and multi-dimensionality of social justice movements which actively seek solidarity across a range of differences, namely MadPride, disability justice, and Queercrip culture.
