2/25 & 26: Queer Disability Rights Activist Eli Clare at NYU

QEJ has had the pleasure of working with Eli Clare, a trans activist and writer who’s work has centered around disability, queerness, and racial justice for the last two years as part of a group of trainers for the Racial Justice Institutes at Creating Change. Eli is doing two events this week at NYU, and would love for you to come out and support!

NYU wants people to RSVP due to limited space so be sure to do so at the email provided below:

Disability, Social Justice & Queerness:
Eli Clare at NYU

The Office of LGBT Student Services at NYU works everyday to make our campus inclusive for all.  One of the many ‘isms’ that we seek to challenge is “ableism,” a stereotype that considers non-disabled individuals the standard of normal living.  In an effort to create a greater understanding of the intersections of disability, queer identities, and social justice, Eli Clare is visiting our campus to foster a greater engagement between disabled and non-disabled students.  Staff, faculty, and students invested in social justice and the advancement of communities with multiple identities are especially encouraged to attend.

5:00 – 7:00 PM, Wednesday February 25th

At the Intersection of Queerness and Disability

5:00 – 6:30 PM, Thursday February 26^th

This interactive workshop requires an RSVP.  Please email crv3@nyu.edu to check availability.  Space is limited.
