In this powerful episode of the Disability and Sexuality Lab podcast, Dr. Alan Martino and undergraduate student Eleni Moumos sit down with Dr. Robert McRuer, a professor in the Department of English at George Washington University, to explore the intersection of disability, queerness, and sexuality. Dr. McRuer, renowned for his work in crip theory and cultural studies of disability, offers insights into the complex ways compulsory able-bodiedness and heterosexual normativity act as forms of social control. The discussion delves into the importance of disrupting these norms, the reclamation of "crip" as a defiant identity, and how disability studies and crip theory can challenge and reshape dominant narratives about sexuality and embodiment. Dr. McRuer also highlights the need for more authentic media representations of disability and sexuality, discussing groundbreaking works such as the Spanish documentary Yes, We Fuck. The conversation underscores the necessity of intersectionality, collaboration, and solidarity between marginalized communities in advocating for social change. Tune in to hear an engaging exploration of how embracing stigma, reclaiming marginalized identities, and dreaming of a world beyond ableism can open up transformative possibilities for disabled and queer individuals. Join us as we disrupt normative narratives and push the boundaries of how we think about disability, sexuality, and pleasure.
