Misfits with Corinne Lajoie

What does it mean to be a misfit? In this episode of thinking bodies, Anna Mudde, Kristin Rodier, and Corinne Lajoie explore Rosemarie Garland-Thomson’s influential 2011 essay, “Misfits: A Feminist Materialist Disability Concept.”
What if disability isn’t simply something that belongs to a body, but something that happens between bodies and worlds?
Featuring Joel Michael Reynolds, Rhea Ienni, and Emily R. Douglas, this episode explores disability, embodiment, accessibility, ableism, feminist materialism, access fatigue, misfitting, and the knowledge that comes from not fitting the world as it is.
We "visit" the Island of Misfit Toys, think about conference lighting, ask what access costs, and consider whether the goal should always be to make misfits fit—or to make misfitting more livable, joyful, and collectively possible.
