• The Art of Flourishing: Conversations on Disability
Liz Bowen (ed.), Joel Michael Reynolds (ed.), Rosemarie Garland-Thomson (ed.), Erik Parens (ed.)
ABSTRACT: The Art of Flourishing: Conversations on Disability is an edited volume in which scholars, artists, writers, and thought leaders with disabilities reflect on what “flourishing” means to them. Based on a series of public talks hosted by The Hastings Center, a bioethics research institute, and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, this collection demonstrates the incredible range of priorities, practices, and possibilities that characterize disabled experience. Disabled people are experts in innovation and adaptation, experts in building networks of support and knowledge sharing, and experts in navigating a world that is not built for them. This expertise is not a niche form of knowledge, but one that speaks to a fundamental question about how we should live together—and even thrive together—amid the vast landscape of human difference. In pieces discussing everything from moving with guide dogs to hiking on wheels to nurturing chosen family, this volume offers a window into the innumerable ways people with disabilities understand what it means to flourish. By bringing together members of disabled communities in academia, activism, the arts, and public policy, the volume invites both scholarly and public audiences to imagine what it would take to build a world in which everyone gets to exercise their own capacities, in ways they find meaningful.
