How might we amplify disabled expertise and crip wisdom - centering ways of living with injury and interdependence - as a way of refusing the ableist nihilism that underwrites apocalypse’s finality & its fixation on healing, cure, & redemption?

Proposals that aim to bring new interlocutors into dialogue and foment new coalitional possibilities across academia, advocacy, activism and the arts, are especially encouraged. (13/)

Society for Disability Studies @disstudies.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

We particularly welcome sessions reckoning with the past, present, and future of the “field” that broadly address its “state” through unresolved conflicts, emergent positions, and methodological commitments in disability studies, disability justice organizing and advocacy, and disability art. (12/)

111

Society for Disability Studies @disstudies.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

In keeping with the legacy of the Society for Disability Studies’ annual conference as a site for gathering, reckoning, and pause, we invite proposals that take up these questions and other related, novel provocations. (11/)

What shape can world-making projects take in a “field” such as ours, which coalesces across and through hierarchies of labor, citizenship, health, gender, sexuality, race, mobility, discipline, age, and access? (9/)

101

Society for Disability Studies @disstudies.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

Finally, what is the role of “study” and “studies” in the ending and remaking of worlds? What does a “field” like disability studies need to do in this current political, environmental, and affective moment? (8/)

101

Society for Disability Studies @disstudies.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

How have our disabled ancestors accessed the end of the world as the beginning of another? How might radical, diverse, and distinct crip knowledges help us attune to possibilities of and for other worlds? (7/)
