Disability Culture and Art

jhernan3's picture

As I was reading Siebers, I thought back to weeks 5 and 6 where we talked about reason, neurodivergence, and cognitive disabilities. The question of which body-minds are allowed into academia sounds very similar to the question of which body-minds are allowed in art. I was very bothered by the position that cognitively disabled minds were incapable of having strokes of genius or of being creative, and wonder how the neurodivergence movement shapes disabled culture.
