SUMMARY:Sunaura Taylor presents "Disabled Ecologies: Lessons from a Wounded
  Desert" in conversation with Heather Hax
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore Book Festival 2024: Red Emma's stage\nA powerful anal
 ysis and call to action that reveals disability as one of the defining fea
 tures of environmental devastation and resistance.\n\n\n\nDeep below the g
 round in Tucson\, Arizona\, lies an aquifer forever altered by the detritu
 s of a postwar Superfund site. Disabled Ecologies tells the story of thi
 s contamination and its ripple effects through the largely Mexican America
 n community living above. Drawing on her own complex relationship to this 
 long-ago injured landscape\, Sunaura Taylor takes us with her to follow th
 e site's disabled ecology—the networks of disability\, both human and wi
 ld\, that are created when ecosystems are corrupted and profoundly altered
 .\n\nWhat Taylor finds is a story of entanglements that reach far beyond t
 he Sonoran Desert. These stories tell of debilitating and sometimes life-e
 nding injuries\, but they also map out alternative modes of connection\, s
 olidarity\, and resistance—an environmentalism of the injured. An origin
 al and deeply personal reflection on what disability means in an era of in
 creasing multispecies disablement\, _Disabled Ecologies _is a powerful c
 all to reflect on the kinds of care\, treatment\, and assistance this age 
 of disability requires.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunaura Taylor is Assistant Professo
 r of Environmental Science\, Policy\, and Management at the University of 
 California\, Berkeley\, and author of the American Book Award–winning B
 easts of Burden: Animal and Disability Liberation.\n\nHeather Hax is a lec
 turer at Towson University. Her areas of expertise include social and envi
 ronmental movements\, sociology\, political economy\, globalization\, race
 \, class\, and gender.\n\nRSVP here!\n\n\n
