This seminar reckons with the intellectual and political possibilities of disability. It draws on an analytics of “crip worldmaking” in order to think about disability as something that brings new worlds into being. This involves anthropology in a broad sense, including ethnography as well as accounts from disability studies, queer theory, critical philosophy, and more. Each week of the seminar explores the ways that crip worldmaking challenges dominant assumptions about key facets of being human, including time, space, embodiment, thought, labor, gender, sexuality, reproduction, belonging, politics, and more-than-human entanglements.

Der Kurs Queer Feminism wir ab Anfang November von Dr. Omar Kasmani unterrichtet, und zwar auf Zoom. Die fehlenden Stunden werden dann in einem in-person Blockseminar im Januar nachgeholt.
Dr. Kasmani ist der Autor von dem Buch

Queer Companions: Religion, Public Intimacy and Saintly Affects in Pakistan. Durham, NC: Duke University Press.
