This FREE Public Keynote kicks off the 5th Annual Disability Studies & Action Collaborative UnConference and continues Disability Action Month programming. This event is hosted by the WWU Institute for Critical Disability Studies, WWU Disability Outreach Center, and Disability Access Center.

Disability in Place: Unmaking as Practice

From 2021 to early 2025, the National Parks Service and the National Council on Public History fostered the creation of an interdisciplinary anthology of place-based disability history.

Then, on the verge of its completion, the politics of our moment unmade it.

Join editor Dr. Kathleen Brian to discuss the life and lives of Disability and Place, the first accessibly written, peer reviewed work to address historical intersections of disability and place, forthcoming from the University of Illinois Press.
