Community Courses

Note: This is a course for the community and all are welcome, whether you've never read any Mad and Crip texts before, or you have read all of them! In this course we will read a selection of radical Mad and Crip texts together and discuss them in community. The course will be "seminar style" and will offer lots of space to discuss important themes, process together and reflect on the books. No previous knowledge of Mad and Crip Studies are needed, as Amy will lay out key history and foundational concepts related to the movements throughout the course. All are welcome!

Each week there will be a lecture component that will act as a conversation partner with the text we are reading. We will spend time talking about the books and ways they resonate with our lived experience, challenge our thinking and push boundaries. We will also discuss how the books align with and/or diverge from our spiritual worldviews. There will also be guest speakers from the community that will offer additional insights and enrich the conversation. Students express their feelings and process their thoughts about the course in creative ways such as writing, journal entries, poetry, art, or other media.
