About the Speakers
Sabrina Ali Jamal-Eddine, PhD BSN RN (she/her) is an Arab disabled queer woman of color, Spoken Word Poet, Disability Justice scholar-activist, and interdisciplinary nurse scientist, based in Chicago. Sabrina’s research explores the use of spoken word poetry as a form of critical narrative pedagogy to educate nursing students about disability, ableism, and disability justice. Sabrina hopes to create transformative change within healthcare education praxis by developing engaging anti-colonial pedagogic strategies rooted in the lived experiences of multiply marginalized disabled people.
Allison Hobgood, PhD MA BA (she/her) is a queer, chronically ill white woman who works as Executive Director of Corvallis Daytime Drop-in Center, a day community resource and navigation hub for individuals experiencing poverty. She previously worked as a professor in higher education teaching disability studies and now does grassroots community organizing for disability and homelessness justice.
About this Event
Disability is simultaneously excluded from, and produced in, spaces of work. Join spoken word poet Dr. Sabrina Ali Jamal-Eddine and grassroots community organizer Dr. Allison Hobgood (she/her) as they center disabled lived experiences through spoken word poetry and community-based narrative to share lived pasts and reimagine futures of work.
"Crip Critique: Spoken Word Narratives on the Lived Pasts and Imagined Futures of Work" bridges and integrates theory produced in ASU’s Future of Work Design Studios with Sabrina’s lived experience of ableism in nursing education and Allison’s conversations about disability and work with guests of the Corvallis Daytime Drop-In Center. The work that Sabrina and Allison share aims to open up interactive conversations on radically imagining the future of flexibility, accessibility, belongingness, and collective liberation in work.
