Dialogues on Disability: Shelley Tremain Interviews Jennifer Scuro
Dialogues on Disability - Biopolitical Philosophy
(2021)
Abstract
Hello, I’m Shelley Tremain and I’d like to welcome you to the seventy-second installment of Dialogues on Disability, the series of interviews that I am conducting with disabled philosophers and post to BIOPOLITICAL PHILOSOPHY on the third Wednesday of each month. The series is designed to provide a public venue for discussion with disabled philosophers about a range of topics, including their philosophical work on disability; the place of philosophy of disability vis-à-vis the discipline and profession; their experiences of institutional discrimination and exclusion, as well as personal and structural gaslighting in philosophy and in academia more generally; resistance to ableism, racism, sexism, and other apparatuses of power; accessibility; and anti-oppressive pedagogy.
The land on which I sit to conduct these interviews is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabeg, covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and directly adjacent to Haldiman Treaty territory. I offer these interviews with respect and the aim of decolonization.
My guest today is Jennifer Scuro. Jennifer (she/her) is the author of The Pregnancy ≠ Childbearing Project: A Phenomenology of Miscarriage (Rowman and Littlefield International, Feb. 2017) and Addressing Ableism: Philosophical Questions via Disability Studies (Lexington Books, Oct. 2017). She recently published a chapter in Representing Abortion (R.A. Hurst, ed., Routledge, 2020) entitled, “‘What you do hurts all of us!’: When Women Confront Women Through Prolife Rhetoric,” and is at work on “The Neuroqueerness of Anna Maria van Schurman,” a chapter for the anthology in development entitled, Claiming the Canon: Philosophy’s Crip History, (John Altmann and Melinda Hall, eds.). Jennifer currently teaches Disability Studies as Visiting Faculty at Miami University of Ohio.
