Synopsis

“To dive into Phil Smith’s writing – a dazzling blend of poetry, ethnography, social critique, and gleefully mad wordplay – can feel more like taking a psychedelic drug than like reading the work of a distinguished scholar. And yet, a distinguished scholar he is. For two decades, he has been a bold trailblazer and innovator in the realms of education, disability studies, mad studies, neurodiversity, and poetry, and in exploring how these realms can interconnect and inform one another. Each chapter of this book is a poetic thought experiment that shreds cultural norms and assumptions, points the way toward new creative directions in scholarship, and might make your brain explode.” - Nick Walker Author, educator, and neurodiversity scholar NOTE: This book is not available for Kindle or other e-readers because the intricate formatting of the text, which is integral to the author's message, could not be preserved in e-reader formats.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Phil Smith is, in a nutshell, post-everything—he is SO after that. He’s a big-deal perfesser guy at Eastern Michigan University, where he slips disability studies stuff and the occasional cranky rants into courses he teaches, and hopes the bureaucraps and curricula police won’t notice. He’s also the director of the Brehm Center for Special Education Scholarship and Research. Phil received the Emerging Scholar Award in Disability Studies in Education in 2009, and EMU’s College of Education Innovative Scholarship Award in 2015. He’s had papers published in a buncha journals, as well as a lotta book chapters, been on several journal review boards, and presented at so many conferences he’s given up counting. He’s published two books in the Peter Lang Disability Studies in Education series, Whatever Happened to Inclusion? The Place of Students with Intellectual Disabilities in Education and Both Sides of the Table: Autoethnographies of Educators Learning and Teaching With/In [Dis]ability, and edited a textbook entitled, Disability and Diversity: An Introduction. He’s a published poet, playwright, novelist, and visual and performance artist, and izza critical scholar and a whatever-comes-after-qualitative researcher. For more than 25 years, in a variety of contexts and roles, he has worked as a disability rights activist, and served on the boards of directors of a number of international, regional, state, and local organizations, including as President of the Society for Disability Studies. He’s mad (but not, mostly, angry) as hell, and identifies as disabled. He rides his bicycle a lot, and tries to remember to wear his socks. A transplanted Yankee, he makes maple syrup at Flamingo Farm, and spends as much time as he can beside Lake Superior, where loons, wolves, moose, and bald eagles peek in the windows of his cabin.
