In “The Origins of Camphill & the Legacy of the Asylum in Disability History,” Katherine Sorrels argues that Camphill’s lifesharing model may have been innovative, just perhaps not in the ways one might expect: https://t.co/e64i47zkQR

Very excited that Ohio Under COVID, in which @Poements and I write (Ch. 1) about the gender politics of #COVID19 in Ohio, is now freely available from @UofMPress as an e-book. Or use code UMS23 for 30% off. It's a great collection--please check it out!

The degree to which paternalism is still baked into national legislation is shocking. Still, there’s some good news here. https://t.co/XkQyV7olWr

Ableist language, writes @DrMLGodin, is one of the more persistent and ingrained versions of ableism: “And it’s not just nondisabled people who use it; disabled people, evidently including me, can be ableist in their speech, too.” https://t.co/5IUjr9OiSb

When @alexdstuckey told me months ago there were people needing publicly funded intellectual and disability services in Texas who were on waitlists for 10-20 years I couldn't believe it. It's true. And you can read it for free because our paywall is down. https://t.co/vswtSoRoAB

To be totally honest, as someone who studies the past, I had no idea of the extent to which the institutionalization of disabled people was still an issue.

But once you're playing closer attention...

@schmidt20_nina @CamdenHseBooks Hi Nina! Good to (officially) be in touch. :) And congrats on your book coming out in paperback! Let me know if you ever find yourself in Cincinnati...

[Dr Nina Schmidt @nischmi.bsky.social @schmidt20_nina]

Surprise parcel in the post: Thank you @CamdenHseBooks for this twin pack. 😍 A book I helped come to fruition (peer-reviewed it last year) & a copy of my own monograph which was released in paperback this month. I love June! (And I love my anonymous self being thanked in bk 1!)

The average Personal Care Attendant makes just $13,300 a year. Yet the amount charged to disabled people for PCA services can be so high they cannot remain in their homes.

A complex issue that my amazing research assistant Meredith Chin sums up nicely in this infographic.

Ever wonder about your school's priorities? (Hint: sportsball and ill-defined "innovation".) We need more faculty to join the AAUP.

My new co-edited volume is available now! Unfortunately, it is quite expensive- I would be grateful to anyone who could recommend it to their library to buy! I also have a 35% discount code to offer 🙂
