YES Alice Wong gets a Macarthur!! Among many things I could say, it occurred to me recently that I could probably teach an entire Disability Studies class based on episodes of her podcast with accompanying readings/etc (disabilityvisibilityproject.com/podcast-2/www.macfound.org/fellows/clas...
Increasing the political and cultural visibility of people with disabilities and catalyzing broader understandings of disability.
This gives me hope, ngl.
Such wonderful and well-deserved news! Alice is the best!
WOW. That is stunning. So well-deserved.
yessssss
& the podcast is just a little bit of her work. Her own writing is amazing + then so, so much of what she does is publish and give platforms to other disabled people's writings. Good place to start - the anthologies Disability Visibility, Disability Intimacy, Resistance & Hope.
What great news!
