Fixes for these forms of breakage often conceal and amplify harm\u2014but what happens if we refuse to rehabilitate this inhospitable world? Charting a politics of solidarity capable of cultivating worlds where we sustain each other instead of the systems that harm us,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.upress.umn.edu\/9781517919733\/broken-worlds-disabled-kin\/\">Broken Worlds, Disabled Kin: Strategies for Collective Survival<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(2026, University of Minnesota Press) traces how relations of care, access, and justice are fostered amid social, ecological, and political collapse. By showing that care for disabled life is inseparable from care for the infrastructures and environments that sustain us, the book asks what it means to be accountable not only to one another but also to the fragile material relations that make collective life possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Join <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/socanth\/people\/kelly-fritsch\/\">Kelly Fritsch<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newcollege.utoronto.ca\/biography\/anne-mcguire\/\">Anne McGuire<\/a> as they engage in conversation about\u00a0<em>Broken Worlds, Disabled Kin\u00a0<\/em>with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/faculty\/natalie-kouritowe.html\">Natalie Kouri-Towe<\/a> (Concordia University), <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/profile\/yergeau-remi-m\/\">Remi Yergeau<\/a> (Carleton University), <a href=\"https:\/\/uniweb.uottawa.ca\/view\/profile\/members\/949?lang=en\">Michael Orsini<\/a> (University of Ottawa), and <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fist\/people\/fady-shanouda\/\">Fady Shanouda<\/a> (Carleton University).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong class=\"myprefix-text-bold\">Wheelchair accessible, ASL interpretation, and food provided by Bread by Us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"author":381,"featured_media":95,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[15],"cu_event_audience":[3,4,5,6,7,10,12],"class_list":["post-93","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_event_type-upcoming-events","cu_event_audience-alumni","cu_event_audience-anyone","cu_event_audience-carleton-community","cu_event_audience-current-students","cu_event_audience-faculty","cu_event_audience-prospective-students","cu_event_audience-staff-faculty"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2026-09-25 18:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2026-09-25 21:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"off-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":{"address":"Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre, 290 Lisgar Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada","lat":45.4170659,"lng":-75.6956941,"zoom":14,"place_id":"ChIJHwz5h6wFzkwRH0JSLUSGr6o","name":"Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre","street_number":290,"street_name":"Lisgar Street","street_name_short":"Lisgar St","city":"Ottawa","state":"Ontario","state_short":"ON","post_code":"K2P 0E2","country":"Canada","country_short":"CA"},"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"event-cal","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Kelly Fritsch","cu_event_email":"kellyfritsch@cunet.carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/93","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/381"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/93\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":99,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/93\/revisions\/99"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=93"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=93"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cdash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=93"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
