    Biography<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Dr. Celeste E. Orr\u2019s research is situated at the intersection of intersex, disability, and queer studies. They explore the complex discursive, political, and embodied connection between intersex and disability as well as compulsory dyadism and able-bodiedness. They ask: how do we understand and reconcile the contested meanings, responses to, and effects of intersex-and\/as-disability? Orr interrogates and extends questions of the ever-shifting categorization of body-minds, culturally mandated ways of being, and (the haunting effects of) pathologization, trauma, and violence through an intersectional lens.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Orr\u2019s book, <\/em>Cripping Intersex<\/em>, will be published 15 September 2022 via the <\/em>University of British Columbia Press. Current projects include Anticipated Violence and the Queer Subject<\/em> (manuscript proposal accepted, Concordia University Press) co-authored with Dr. Nicholas Hrynyk and \u201cIntroducing Mad Intersex Studies\u201d co-authored with Dr. Meg Peters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
