We have a problem with identity politics on campus

Campus Life as it is currently structured means that not everyone is safe

Safety is essential for personal growth & academic success

Success can not be attained by only an individual

Individual experience can not be used for change unless we reprioritize how we function as a community

Supercrip and the Politics of Pity

I also believe that Eli Clare would chose to identify himself in this group as "supercrip". The word comes up many times when Eli speaks about dealing with people who are nondisabled. I have never experienced 'crip-theory' in school before and I believe this is the experience of many of the 360 students. Because we are reading Exile and Pride as the first text in two of our three courses, we are giving serious value to Clare's work and assigning him the supercrip label by default (subconciously).
