Episode 38: Contra* Remote Access History with Corbett O’Toole

mercredi 22 janvier 2025 • Duration 48:48

This season of Contra*, we’re sharing oral history interviews from the Remote Access Archives. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we spoke with a number of scholars and activists about mutual aid and pandemic times.

What did remote access look like 20 years ago? 30 years ago? How has the disability community been innovating with phones, emails and the internet since these were emerging technologies? This episode features a conversation with Corbett O’Toole, a white, queer, disabled elder, artist and author, who discusses the significance of remote access technologies over the past few decades – from her role in the polio community to the early disability rights movement to disability justice today.

For an episode transcript, visit criticaldesignlab.com.

Themes:

Disability advocacy and justice
Anti-colonialism and the disability community
Remote participation and conferences
Queer feminism and the disability community
COVID-19 pandemic and long COVID
Nomad community and internet access

Episode 37: The Toomey Gazette

mercredi 15 janvier 2025 • Duration 07:25

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we spoke with a number of scholars and activists about mutual aid and pandemic times. This season we’re sharing some of those conversations. We’re also taking a closer look at some of the documents in the remote access archive in mini-episodes, like the one you're listening to today!

What was the role of remote access before the COVID-19 pandemic for the disability community? In this mini-episode, Kelsie looks at documents associated with the Toomey Gazette, later known as the Rehabilitation Gazette, a print newspaper sent out by a rehabilitation center to its broader community starting in 1955.
