Health Humanities Grand Rounds
“Disability Studies: Rewriting Democracy”

Presented by Marion Quirici, Ph.D., Co-director of the Health Humanities Lab at the Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University

In this talk, Dr. Quirici will discuss her experiences designing and supervising publicly engaged writing assignments that get college students involved in disability justice activism in the campus and local communities. She will share examples of pathfinding student work across genres and media, and argue for the potential of disability studies to redefine concepts of citizenship, community, and democracy.
