DESCRIPTION:Join us us for a job talk from one of our Faculty recruitment c
 andidates\n\nAbstract:\n\nFor disabled people\, how we see ourselves in hi
 story matters. Disabled minds and bodies have historically entered into ar
 chival records through the criminalization of disabled—and other historica
 lly marginalized—identities\, resulting in the creation of legal\, medical
 \, and institutional records that make up a plethora of records documentin
 g disability. Considering the abundance of such types of records that tell
  one side of disability history\, this talk uses empirical data to investi
 gate the ways in which living disabled people are affectively impacted by 
 the ways they are represented in archives. Through interviews with disable
 d archival users\, this research highlights the complexity of how disabled
  people relate to and interact with historical representation: witnessing 
 the violences of the past in archival material\, many interviewees describ
 ed also expecting to be erased in history. Furthermore\, disabled research
 ers expressed how they could simultaneously feel the harm of the treatment
  of disabled people alongside a complicated excitement or gratitude for ev
 idence. In other words\, the very records that advocate for the eradicatio
 n or institutionalization of disabled people can also serve as evidence to
  be politicized towards telling a history of oppression. Moreover\, this r
 esearch highlights affective impacts not only through the contents of reco
 rds but also of the people and decision-making processes that influence ho
 w materials are accessed and understood. Therefore\, in foregrounding disa
 bled people’s interactions with historical material\, this talk also draws
  a critical lens on archival processes—in both physical and digital archiv
 es—as archivists mediate how materials are located\, examined and understo
 od by communities today. Situated within a larger research project that co
 nsiders the relationality of archival material\, this presentation address
 es the affective relationships between living disabled people\, disabled p
 eople in the past\, and the archives that represent them as well as the im
 plications for digital tools and interventions.\n\n \n
