Spectacular Access Fail: My college held a strategic planning event through the DEI office. They didn’t offer a hybrid option, nor respond in a timely way to my request for a remote participation accommodation. But they did feature the photo of me and Miranda in their presentation. 🙄

Hi, BlueSky, I’m Erin (they/them)! This account will focus on my work as an interdisciplinary professor in critical disability studies. My first book, The Sexual Politics of Empire, recently won a Lambda Literary Award. Now I’m writing a new book about disability accessibility and ethnography.
