SUMMARY:Premodern Neurodiversity Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Premodern Neurodiversity is a two-day symposium that explores the literary and cultural history of human neurological diversity: the fact that our minds naturally vary in how they work. Speakers will trace how different forms of cognitive\, emotional\, and sensory experience have manifested throughout history\, prior to the formal development of neurodiversity theory in the late 20th century. \nThe symposium is free of charge and open to the public but registration is required. It will take place on the ASU Tempe campus in Ross-Blakley Hall room 196. \nPremodern Neurodiversity is coordinated by Associate Professor Bradley Irish and hosted by the Department of English\, with additional support from the department’s literature program as well as from the Humanities Institute and the humanities division of The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. \n\nDates\nFriday\, October 17\, 2025 \n\n\nFriday\, October 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.\nSaturday\, October 18 from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m

SUMMARY:Application Deadline:  Assistant Professor\, Disability Studies
DESCRIPTION:The College of Arts and Sciences at the University at Buffalo\, The State University of New York\, invites applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in the humanities and qualitative social sciences with a research focus in and demonstrated ability to teach courses in disability studies\, particularly in relation to gender and/or sexuality. We especially welcome candidates whose work focuses on African American\, Latina\, and/or Native American/ Indigenous cultures and methodologies. We seek dynamic teachers and researchers whose specialization foregrounds an intersectional humanist approach to disability studies. Our new colleagues will begin in August 2026. \nSelected candidates will be appointed to the department best suited to their qualifications\, research\, and teaching area. Candidates should have the ability to mentor students who are broadly diverse with regard to race\, ethnicity\, socioeconomic status\, gender\, nationality\, sexual orientation\, disability\, and religion. Teaching load includes two classes per term. All faculty are expected to build and maintain a robust research agenda. \nReview of applications will begin October 15\, 2025\, and will continue until the position is filled. \nOur new faculty colleagues will have the opportunity to work with the Mellon funded Communities of Care project. The project focuses on caregiving and caretaking\, working with disabled people\, as well as non-disabled allies and care workers\, living within marginalized communities to co-create stories and other accounts of their lives.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Disability and Community: Healing Miracles and the Bianchi of 1399
DESCRIPTION:Medieval miracle narratives abound in a variety of sources\, and disability studies is a productive lens through which we can examine these events. This paper takes the chronicle of Luca Dominici and his treatment of the Bianchi devotions of 1399 and examines the miracles presented therein. Moved by a threat of plague\, participants in the Bianchi devotions donned white robes and completed penitential processions in the summer and autumn of 1399. I draw a focus to a series of miracles performed on 20 August 1399\, using narrative prosthesis and “inspiration porn” as frameworks to assess the individuals who were healed as well as their place within their communities and the popular religious revival as a whole. \nDr Alex R.A. Lee is a medieval historian whose work focuses on the intersection between epidemic disease and popular religion in late medieval Italy. Her book on the Bianchi of 1399 was published by Brill in 2021\, and she has published articles and book chapters on confraternities\, miracles\, apocalypse\, and pedagogy as well as an edited book on disability\, medieval studies\, and Higher Education. Alex’s current research brings the lens of disability studies to consider miracles and language in medieval source materials. She teaches Liberal Studies at NYU London. \nAll welcome– this seminar is free to attend\, but booking is required.
