Article Title
Introduction to Carol Rogers-Shaw’s “Disabled Lives and Pandemic Lives: Stories of Human Precarity”
Abstract
The idea for Carol Rogers-Shaw’s essay began in April 2020, six weeks into the initial COVID lockdown, at her Zoom-based PhD dissertation defense. Carol’s dissertation brought together a narration of her life as a person with a disability and her work as a high school teacher of students with identified disabilities, conceptualized and reconceptualized through the lens of critical disability studies.
