“Habitable Worlds: Disability, Technology, and Eugenics” 

The shape of the material world we build and occupy together expresses and
determines who inhabits it. Professor Garland-Thomson examines how we use
technologies—from tools to stories—to make human communities. She addresses
ethical questions about why we might want disability in the world and what
we lose when we eliminate disability. Rosemarie Garland- Thomson is one of
the most influential and respected figures in disability studies. She is the
author of Staring: How We Look, Extraordinary Bodies, and several other
books.
