“An investigation into how disability has been included in queer archives.
This looks specifically at HIV/AIDS materials and how it was discussed as a disability. It will also explore the inclusion (or lack) of other disability-related material within queer archives and discuss the implications of ableism within 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and how that erases disabled queer folks, in the past and present.”
