Center for the Humanities (CHAT) Lounge, 10th Floor, Gladfelter Hall

Informed by Disability Studies, this talk examines a variety of
methodological issues that should influence the study of disability in
the Hebrew Bible and other ancient Near Eastern literature.

Debility, Capacity, and Deleuze
Jasbir Puar
Associate Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies, Rutgers University

Wednesday, February 3, noon to 1:30 P.M.
1810 Liacouras Conference Suite
Liacouras Walk, Temple University Main Campus

Professor Puar will analyze concerns related to the disability rights
movement's efforts to call for inclusion based on normative,
nationalist criteria of participation.  Her presentation will draw
upon the works of theorists of the corporeal such as Massumi, Deleuze,
and Ahmed to imagine alternative modes of becoming.

Entangling the discourse of choice: “Assisted dying” and
representations of severe disability
Kateřina Kolářová
Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies, Charles University in Prague

Monday, February 8, 2:00-4:00
1810 Liacouras Conference Suite
Liacouras Walk, Temple University Main Campus

Professor Kolářová critiques the discourse of individual choice that
shapes the debate on assisted dying. The discourse of choice calls
upon specific heteronormative as well as ableist notions to
re-configure notions of sociality, relationality, responsibility, and
care. Case studies include German legislation regarding the “patient’s
will,” British media coverage of the “voluntary death” of a young man,
and the Spanish film The Sea Inside.

The Dilemma of Doing Human Services for Pay
Wolf Wolfensberger
Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University

Wednesday, April 21, noon to 1:30 P.M.
1810 Liacouras Conference Suite
Liacouras Walk, Temple University Main Campus

People with disabilities are served by organized agencies that hire
and pay people–their employees–to do the serving. This fact is
virtually taken for granted by everyone involved, even though it has
not always been so, and it raises a number of troubling problems, such
as conflicts of interest. This presentation will try to bring these
various dilemmas to consciousness, and also point out how paid human
services workers can address the dilemmas in their own lives, and
“validate” their paid human service.
