Disability, Society and Culture


Disability Theory 

My theoretical interests in disability studies span socio-relational models of disability, crip theory, and disability-as-method — both as frameworks I apply across my research and as sites of active scholarly engagement. This work is developed in part through the Disability Studies Working Group at Curtin University's Centre for Culture and Technology, a collaborative space for theoretical discussion, writing, and peer engagement across disability studies scholarship. My contributions to disability theory appear across sole-authored and collaborative chapters, conference presentations, and ongoing engagement with the broader disability studies community nationally and internationally.
