Crip Care Assemblages: Disability Justice Organizing, Sociomateriality, and the Radical Potential of Crip Worldmaking
Abstract
Abstract In this musing, I reflect on care ethics as they relate to the material contours of everyday life. Drawing on my own queercrip life writing, I explore my experiences of participating in virtual disability support groups. Calling these meetings crip care assemblages , I note how ethical commitments, norms, and expectations relate to the material specifics in different support group configurations. In examining these configurations, I consider how access and participation are emergent phenomena, grounded in each entangled encounter, and the implications of this contingency for organizing collective care practices.
