Next Tuesday I'll be delivering a free and public plenary lecture at @cam.ac.uk for @mmll-cambridge.bsky.social about my work and lived experiences of researching and creating archaeologies of disability. If you're based in Cambridge and are interested in disability and the humanities, come along!
Not Just an Other: Archaeologies of Disability

Kyle L. Jordan

Lecture Theatre A, Student Services Centre, New Museums Site

5.15pm, May 5, 2026

Reception, The Atrium, SSC, 6.30pm

Abstract: Modern models and experiences of disability are typically defined by ‘otherness’ in relation to an institutional or social-cultural idea of ‘normalcy’. When we investigate the ancient past, however, these definitions do not neatly apply. This presents both challenges and opportunities to not only change our understanding of the 
past but radically reassess the knowledge and practice of our present, and dream of better futures.

This plenary lecture will explore what the disciplines of archaeology and disability studies have to offer each other – and together, the broader social sciences – while also sharing the lived experience of putting it all into practice. 

Bio: Kyle Lewis Jordan is an independent early career researcher and freelance heritage professional who specialises in the study of disability in antiquity, with a focus on Egypt and the Middle East. 

Born with cerebral palsy, Kyle studied at UCL’s Institute of Archaeology before 
becoming a curator, curating exhibitions at both the Ashmolean Museum and Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, and more 
recently the Verulamium Museum in St 
Albans. He is also a Research Associate of the National Centre for Academic and Cultural Exchange.

You saved my son from starvation; you brought him back to life. But now, malnutrition is stealing his sight. Please don’t let his world go dark after he survived the hunger. As you saved his soul, help us save his eyes. He deserves to see. Verified by: @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/5f2429cda
