Call for Proposals
Grief, Trauma, and Care in Times of Catastrophe
What distinct insights are available when catastrophic events are experienced and analyzed from within a disability perspective? What kinds of responses to trauma are needed to adequately grieve, mourn, and flourish? How do disability perspectives (from within and without religious communities and their sacred texts) imagine and practice a different world and collective future in which mutual care in vulnerability is possible? Which histories, theologies, cosmologies, or theories of grief and flourishing in times of catastrophe need to be centered?
