Wowza! Page proofs! The thing is typeset - it’s really happening?!
This is technically my second book, but in a lot of ways that count, it is my first book… the book that developed out of my dissertation.

RIP Devva Kasnitz - a truly inspirational, kind, fiery disability scholar and activist! The DS community has lost a kindred spirit, but she will never be forgotten. An infrastructural activist whose influence knows no bounds. Thank you for all you’ve taught me 💛

To echo what Erin said, Anna Jaysane-Darr and I have co-edited a volume through Routledge titled "The Disabled Anthropologist." It should be available by Spring, perhaps by April. The contributors range from graduate students to retirees and those early or mid-career.

I’m sure there are more folks out there who I haven’t connected with yet in disability anthropology or who use ethnographic approaches to critical disability studies. Send me a note if you’d like to be added! ❤️
