Everything is on fire. The supports disabled people need for survival are being decimated. The robots are coming after us, harvesting our data, surveilling us, and determining who is worthy to live. What can we do? How might the wisdom of disability elders and cross-movement organizers equip us for what’s happening and what’s to come? This roundtable brings together disability culture workers, activists, writers, and scholars to think-together about disability futures.

All are welcome and we strongly encourage undergraduate and graduate students to attend. Refreshments are provided for the first 100 attendees!

Advance registration is recommended.
