Wondering why our article in cjds offers lessons from the snail? The snail helps us frame queer,trans,intersex&disabled experiences of academic&activist labour.Including a home it carries on its back,a distinctive mode&pace of transit&a non-normative body(for those who aren’t🐌)

"Building a Community for Queer Disability Studies: Lessons from the Snail" offers learnings from Trans, Queer, Intersex, & Disability Studies into a set of ‘lessons’ for groups seeking to develop solidarities w/in academic & activist communities. More: cjds.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cjds…

It’s Friday. If you can carve time& space out to read this it might speak to you. Especially if you’re in queer studies, disability studies, trans studies or intersex studies. Even if you’re not maybe it’s got something that will resonate in the time pressured academy we all face

'The essential inclusion of diverse body-minds as researchers and research participants requires embracing snail time and snail pace for such inclusion. This work of slowing down is also the collective work of academics to make time for each other. Leave no snail behind!' 👇🔥🐌

This is key - Cripping Breath is a project that works in Crip time, acknowledging how impairment & the need for different orientations in & to time can positively shape the research process 💪

Leave no snail behind! 🐌 🐌 Excited to be thinking through future plans for QDS and bringing snails together.
