Info:
Alice Wong is an acclaimed disabled activist whose work and writing has shaped the modern conversation around disability. As the founder and director of the Disability Visibility Project, her work forefronts the stories of those living with disabilities and paints a vibrant picture of disability media and culture. In her latest book, Disability Intimacy, Alice uses her distinctive voice to highlight and curate stories of intimacy.
More than sex, more than romantic love, the pieces in her stunning and illuminating new anthology offer broader and more inclusive definitions of what it can mean to be intimate with another person. Explorations of caregiving, community, access, and friendship offer us alternative ways of thinking about the connections we form with others-a vital reimagining in an era when forced physical distance is at times a necessary norm.
But don't worry, there's still sex to consider-and the numerous ways sexual liberation intersects with disability justice. Alice's collection features disabled sexual discovery, disabled love stories, and disabled joy, diving into the full spectrum of the dreams, fantasies, and deeply personal realities of a wide range of beautiful bodies and minds.
Join Alice in a conversation with writer, educator and trainer for transformative justice and disability justice Mia Mingus. Their conversation about Alice's life and work will free your thinking, invigorate your spirit, and delight your desires.
