Disability in Place: Unmaking as Practice 

From 2021 to early 2025, the National Parks Service and the National Council on Public History fostered the creation of an interdisciplinary anthology of place-based disability history. Then, on the verge of its completion, the politics of our moment unmade it. 

Join editor Dr. Kathleen Brian to discuss the life and lives of Disability in Place, the first accessibly written, peer reviewed work to address historical intersections of disability and place, forthcoming from the University of Illinois Press.
