Guiding question: “What if we take disability rhetorics about environments seriously within a disability justice framework?
To draw from Sunaura Taylor’s work: “Language about environmental damage emerges in all sorts of different places, whether in environmental policy or environmental humanities. This language associates environmental harm with disability. For example, the climate is depicted as a mutant or the land can be represented as ill, wounded, or amputated.”
