Jaipreet Virdi: The Disabled Gaze: Rethinking the Past, Remaking the Future

UW Office of Public Lectures

 Jaipreet Virdi, scholar activist and Associate Professor at the University of Delaware and author of “Hearing Happiness: Deafness Cures in History” Dr. Virdi asks us to consider how being disabled changes the way people view the world and the things they create. Through these perspectives, she invites alternative approaches for remaking crip worlds, one in which disabled people, and the disabled gaze, are centered first and foremost
