To RSVP please click here.

Jane Gallop talks about adult-onset disability, middle-aging, and sexuality. The project brings together crip theory, feminist aging studies, queer temporality, psychoanalysis, and anecdotal theory. It considers how disability that begins in midlife and/or the entrance to middle age are lived as a threat to one’s sexuality and one’s gender, but also how these perspectives can supply us with alternative models of sexual temporality.

Jane Gallop is Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee.
