Crip Spacetime Summary

Crip Spacetime: Access, Failure, and Accountability in Academic Life by Margaret Price

In Crip Spacetime, Margaret Price intervenes in the competitive, productivity-focused realm of academia by sharing the everyday experiences of disabled academics. Drawing on more than three hundred interviews and survey responses, Price demonstrates that individual accommodationsthe primary way universities address accessibilityactually impede access rather than enhance it. She argues that the pains and injustices encountered by academias disabled workers result in their living and working in realities different from nondisabled colleagues: a unique experience of space, time, and being that Price theorizes as crip spacetime. She explores how disability factors into the exclusionary practices found in universities, with multiply marginalized academics facing the greatest harms. Highlighting the knowledge that disabled academics already possess about how to achieve sustainable forms of access, Price boldly calls for the university to move away from individualized models of accommodation and toward a new system of collective accountability and care.

Crip Spacetime Reviews

Crip Spacetime is a very important book not only for disability studies, gender studies, and race studiesbut also for anyone whose project is to think deeply about how the reproduction of institutions as being for some and not for others is a form of institutional violence. Margaret Price shows that we need collective accountability to do more than get more disabled people through the door, teaching us that if we listened to disabled academics, we would learn how to build better universities. -- Sara Ahmed, author of * Complaint! *
In this highly anticipated analysis of disabled academics experiences, Margaret Price weaves critical disability theory with qualitative research to analyze the material and discursive textures of accessibility. This book will be essential reading for scholars, teachers, and students seeking to understand disabled lifeworlds in the modern university. -- Aimi Hamraie, author of * Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability *
"In this necessary volume, Margaret Price details the results of a study she conducted on the daily experiences of academics with disabilities. After collecting over 300 interviews and surveys, Price calls for universities to learn from disabled academics and adopt their models of collective accountability and care." -- Karla J. Strand * Ms. *
