Description
What does disability studies say to survivors of sexual abuse? Are survivors disabled? And how might crip readings of representations of sexual violence? I explore the connections between disability studies, trauma theory, and feminist criticism in order to theorize the interdisciplinary epistemological value of narratives of sexual violence.
