Good morning,
I will be teaching a course on gender and disability in the Women's and
Gender Studies department at University of Toronto (Mississauga) in January.
I'm already thinking about readings to assign, and I would appreciate some
suggestions of innovative approaches. I'm not interested in recapitulating
the heterosexist, gender dimorphic assumptions that have been produced in
much done on gender in disability studies, i.e., where "gender" really means
(only) "women" and "men". So, suggestions from queer studies, science
studies, etc. that merge into disability studies would be most welcome. I
know that a book entitled Gendering Disability, which follows from the
Rutgers conference on gender and disability, is due to come out soon. From
what I can remember of the line-up for that conference, that book would be a
very good tool for my purposes. I have checked with the large on-line book
industry, however, and the book is not due to be released until about
February. I know that some of you on DS-HUM were involved in that
conference. Do you have any more exact info about a publication date? And
would someone please remind me of the reference for the queer and disabled
issue that Robert and Abby put together?
Thanks in advance, and best regards,
Shelley Lynn Tremain
