Suffering “Well” Across Communities of Color: A Comparative Conversation on Race, Ableism, and Disability Studies with Mimi Khúc and Sami Schalk

A comparative and intersectional conversation on race, ableism, and disability studies exploring ableism in Asian American and African American communities and how ethnic studies can more fully develop a disability lens.

This event is part of the Mellon-Sawyer "Suffer Well" Seminar Series and is made possible by generous support from the Mellon Foundation. The Sawyer Seminar is a yearlong series that will offer lectures, symposia and presentations from invited speakers that explore human suffering in its various forms and to develop future scholarly projects that confront directly the place of suffering in human experience.
