 ique of the category of disability and liberal disability politics\, J. Log
 an Smilges’s <em>Crip Negativity</em> asks and imagines what horizons might
  exist for the liberation of those oppressed by ableism—beyond access and i
 nclusion. Inspired by models of negativity in queer studies\, Black studies
 \, and crip theory\, the book proposes that bad crip feelings might help al
 l of us to care gently for one another\, even as we demand more from the wo
 rld than we currently believe to be possible. In this talk\, Smilges reflec
 ts on the reception of <em>Crip Negativity </em>over the past year\, medita
 ting on what people’s felt responses to it might tell us about disability s
 tudies’s affective attachments and political commitments.</p><p><strong>ABO

 ><strong>Bio</strong></p><p>Led by commitments to transfeminism and disabil
 ity justice\, J. Logan Smilges writes and teaches at the nexus of queer/tra
 ns disability studies\, the history of medicine\, and rhetorical studies. T
 heir first book\, Queer Silence: On Disability and Rhetorical Absence (Univ
 ersity of Minnesota Press\, 2022)\, attends to the interanimating absences 
 of disability and silence from the field of queer studies. It theorizes the
  resistance efforts of minoritarian queer subjects who draw on silence to b
 uild community\, navigate hostile environments\, and resistant institutiona
 l and state-sponsored violence. Their second book\, Crip Negativity (Univer
 sity of Minnesota Press\, 2023)\, levels a critique of the category of disa
 bility and liberal disability politics\, asking what horizons might exist f
 or the liberation of disabled people beyond access and inclusion. Currently
 \, they are working on a third book-length project that maps a cultural and
  rhetorical history of mental disability and transgender as contingent medi
 cal and social categories in the United States.</p><p> </p><p><span style="
