Artist and writer, Sunaura Taylor, examines the value of perceiving and thinking with disabled ecologies—her term for the material and cultural ways disability is manifested and produced between and among human and nonhuman entities. Taylor argues that we are living through a period of mass ecological disablement of the more-than-human-world, a disablement that is utterly entangled with the disablement of human beings. Rooting her work in a forty-year-old Superfund waste site in Tucson, Arizona, Taylor asks how we can learn from ill and disabled humans, animals, and ecosystems about how to live in what she calls the age of disability, while also working to dismantle the systems of oppression that so often cause it.
