Bad Education: Crip Representation and the Limits of Toleran
Discussion Queer Café
Robert McRuer
Contemporary crip representations expose and critique discourses of tolerance. Robert McRuer examines the antisocial thesis that is well known in queer theory but has no clear analogue in Disability Studies. What might antisocial theory have to offer Disability Studies and how might crip theory be more central to larger contemporary critiques.
Prof. Robert McRuer lectures literature and cultural studies at The Georgie Washington University in Washington D.C. He focuses mostly on GLBT issues and reciprocal relation between sexuality and „disability“. He is the author of the influential „Crip Theory“ (Crip Theory, 2006).
