> As part of our work with AccessADVANCE, DO-IT staff is facilitating a four week book club on Crip Spacetime: Access, Failure, and Accountability in Academic Life by Margaret Price. The book explores the competitive, productivity-focused realm of academia by sharing the everyday experiences of disabled academics. The book club discussions will center institutional change to make academic careers more welcoming and accessible to faculty with disabilities.

> Register for the book club via this link <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.gle/X2pMnyC4EvK1Uac5A__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!l594lNgEBbvP0FUNlBZRkLpYZpuxmy289QftKGPIm3fLnmtx0wbskqkogS1DmD5KvdWevGHBG4jv1w$>.
>  
> Each week participants will read or skim a portion of the book and we will meet as a group over Zoom to discuss what was learned or ask questions to the group. Please fill out the form <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://forms.gle/X2pMnyC4EvK1Uac5A__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!l594lNgEBbvP0FUNlBZRkLpYZpuxmy289QftKGPIm3fLnmtx0wbskqkogS1DmD5KvdWevGHBG4jv1w$> to register for the book club for Crip Spacetime. We understand that participants will not be able to attend every meeting. These sessions are an opportunity to further engage with the book and each other but it is not required to attend them all. We ask that participants try to make at least three sessions.
>  
> We will send you a copy of the book upon successful registration so make sure you put the address you'd like the book to be mailed to in the registration form. Crip Spacetime will be released on April 19th, 2024 and will be mailed out to book club participants as soon as it becomes available. (Please note, as of this writing, the book is only available in hard copy).

> About the book <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://dukeupress.edu/crip-spacetime__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!l594lNgEBbvP0FUNlBZRkLpYZpuxmy289QftKGPIm3fLnmtx0wbskqkogS1DmD5KvdWevGGaD7pPdw$>: "In Crip Spacetime, Margaret Price intervenes in the competitive, productivity-focused realm of academia by sharing the everyday experiences of disabled academics. Drawing on more than three hundred interviews and survey responses, Price demonstrates that individual accommodations-the primary way universities address accessibility-actually impede access rather than enhance it. She argues that the pains and injustices encountered by academia's disabled workers result in their living and working in realities different from nondisabled colleagues: a unique experience of space, time, and being that Price theorizes as "crip spacetime." She explores how disability factors into the exclusionary practices found in universities, with multiply marginalized academics facing the greatest harms. Highlighting the knowledge that disabled academics already possess about how to achieve sustainable forms of access, Price boldly calls for the university to move away from individualized models of accommodation and toward a new system of collective accountability and care."
