FONSFAQ: Disability History
Apr. 20th, 2011 06:11 pm![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
troubleA bunch of awesome people I know are doing Three Weeks for Dreamwidth where they are accepting prompts and will write answers to questions about their topics. This started with dingsi. There is a master list!
(FONSFAQ: Frequently (Or Not So Frequently) Asked Question)
I thought I would love to be asked (and answer) questions about disability history! Because I love it like ice cream.
(In fact, you'd be doing me a huge favour by asking these questions. Don & I are playing around with an idea about a disability history related podcast this summer, and having some idea what people might be interested in knowing would be helpful.)
Things I do not know the answers to easily, I will happily research.
Please leave prompts! Preferred style would be PROMPT in the subject heading of the comment, but don't fret the details. Also, please feel free to signal boost this, as I would love an excuse to talk about my interests with everyone in the world. All the time. (Also, feel free to leave multiple prompts.)
check out Dingsi's prompt page for more ideas.
ETA: I forgot to tell people that they are welcome to claim and write about any of these! Please don't take my comments as claiming them for just me. It's a huge field, and I would love to see other people's responses. :D

PROMPT
Date: 2011-04-20 11:13 pm (UTC)1. What are some examples of disability-centred approaches/community structures/rhetoric from historical times/places that you wish 21st century North America and culturally similar communities would re-implement?
2. What's an area of disability history studies that is really cool and amazing that you would be spending every possible second on, if you didn't already have an area/topic?
3. What are the top 1 or 2 books or journal articles in your area (or that from #2) that you think would be accessible to non-specialists and fairly self-contained?
