This month's featured speakers are Roopa Vasudevan @rouxpz.bsky.social, Assistant Professor, Department of Art, UMass Amherst) and Feng-Feng Yeh (chef, artist, and founder of the Chinese Chorizo Project, @chinesechorizo.bsky.social).

We define tools broadly--including strategies, tactics, theories, case studies, methods, and more--that support ongoing efforts to develop new pathways for research and creative intervention that is meaningful to those most impacted.

Drawing inspiration from Harney and Moten's theorization of "study" this salon-style speaker series brings together scholars, artists, and other cultural workers to share field-tested tools while also constituting an undercommons of its own.

"Tools for the Undercommons" is a new series of virtual conversations I'm co-organizing with my friend and colleague Jacqueline Barrios, hosted by @ImaginingAmer.

Our first event is this Wednesday, Sept 24 -- RSVP link below!

Learn more about the book, co-edited with @maramills.bsky.social, Faye Ginsburg, and Rayna Rapp, published by @nyupress.bsky.social (and part of a @center4ds.bsky.social project!).

Thank you! It was so great to get to talk with you and @maramills.bsky.social about this project, and unfortunately how many lessons our leaders haven't learned since the start of the pandemic.

This week marks the 5th anniversary of measures to address Covid-19 in NYC and many parts of the US and world -- though as our book demonstrates, many disabled people were already carefully tracking developments and organizing community care.

In addition to co-editing the book, I also co-wrote the introduction and a chapter on solidarity between people with ME and Long Covid (with Emily Lim Rogers).

This anthology documents disabled people's experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic, from entrenched ableism to ingenious activism.

Unfortunately, it could not be more timely, as we not only enter the fifth year of Covid, but also the myriad public health and other unjust horrors of this new admin.

So proud to share this project that I've been working on for almost five years, alongside @maramills.bsky.social, Faye Ginsburg, and Rayna Rapp (via @center4ds.bsky.social and @nyupress.bsky.social): 'How To Be Disabled In A Pandemic.'

So so so excited to see it in the world! (And I love your photo staging 😻)

This is a project I'm so incredibly proud of. It helped me survive the pandemic, learn a lot about myself, and offered an opportunity to collaborate with so many brilliant people.
