Harilyn Rousso, "Don't Call Me Inspirational"
Mon, April 21st 1:30pm
SHTM, Health Sciences Center, L-2, Lecture Hall 3
Facilitated by: Disabilities Fellows - Co-hosting
Harilyn Rousso, Foundational Disability Studies and Feminist Scholar, reading from her book "Don't Call Me Inspirational."
Brief synopsis from www.harilynrousso.com
"You’re so inspirational!” “You’re so brave!” (Cue the heroic music!) Or from the less inhibited: “What a shame!” “What’s wrong with you?” That’s the background noise of Harilyn Rousso’s life. Don’t Call Me Inspirational: A Disabled Feminist Talks Back, through intimate anecdote and observation, gives the lie to such nonsense and describes the damage it causes.
Rousso’s memoir is about overcoming prejudice against disability, not disability itself. It confronts not only prejudice but also the ways so-called “normal” people distinguish people with disabilities from everyone else by seeing them through the comforting but distorted lens of heroism, nobility and triumph over adversity—stereotypes that kill with kindness."

Austin Unbound
March 10th 7:00-9:30pm
SAC Auditorium
U. Scholar Event for Credit
Co-hosting with the Stony Brook LGBTA, Student Activities, and GQA, we are screening director Eliza Greenwood's documentary film, Austin Unbound. The film follows Austin, a Deaf transman, through various experiences with family and friends and transition-related care. Immediately following the film, honored guest Josie Krueger will be sharing various thoughts and reflections on the film and Josie's own life as a Deaf transwoman. A Question & Answer period will conclude the evening.
This event holds exciting potential to create productive and stimulating conversations around dis/ability, trans* identity and the centrality of inclusive services within and outside of the circumstances of both Austin's and Josie's stories, including the environment of our own campus.
