A Point of Clarification

In my post below about crip culture and theory I mention two superb scholars in disability studies–namely David Mitchell and Robert McRuer. I admire both of them very much. In these febrile times its good to clarify. My position is simply that crip culture has been driven in ways that reinforce vision and visual display. I’m concerned about this because 70 % of the blind remain unemployed, because blind students on college campuses across the US struggle mightily to gan access to books and articles and web sites. Because finally “culture” when its properly contrarian should by its every nature be mindful of inclusion.
