“Crip Spacetime is a very important book not only for disability studies, gender studies, and race studies but also for anyone whose project is to think deeply about how the reproduction of institutions as being for some and not for others is a form of institutional violence. Margaret Price shows that we need collective accountability to do more than get more disabled people through the door, teaching us that if we listened to disabled academics, we would learn how to build better universities.” -- Sara Ahmed, author of * Complaint! * “In this highly anticipated analysis of disabled academics’ experiences, Margaret Price weaves critical disability theory with qualitative research to analyze the material and discursive textures of accessibility. This book will be essential reading for scholars, teachers, and students seeking to understand disabled lifeworlds in the modern university.” -- Aimi Hamraie, author of * Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability * ""In this necessary volume, Margaret Price details the results of a study she conducted on the daily experiences of academics with disabilities. After collecting over 300 interviews and surveys, Price calls for universities to learn from disabled academics and adopt their models of collective accountability and care."" -- Karla J. Strand * Ms. *

""Price weaves deeply moving personal stories with questions about the very nature and purpose of higher education, revealing profound tensions between the modern university and the well-being of its workforce while maintaining the possibility of imagining academia otherwise."" - Liz Bowen (Public Books) “In this highly anticipated analysis of disabled academics’ experiences, Margaret Price weaves critical disability theory with qualitative research to analyze the material and discursive textures of accessibility. This book will be essential reading for scholars, teachers, and students seeking to understand disabled lifeworlds in the modern university.” - Aimi Hamraie, author of (Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability) ""Price’s work in Crip Spacetime is crucial for changing not only the way academia understands the experience of disability and access, but also for recognizing that current systems of accommodation in academia are actually preventing access. . . . Her work has the potential to affect the way accommodations are framed and viewed in academic institutions and beyond, including in the realms of medicine and public policy.""   - Gabrielle Bunko (Rhetoric Review) ""In this necessary volume, Margaret Price details the results of a study she conducted on the daily experiences of academics with disabilities. After collecting over 300 interviews and surveys, Price calls for universities to learn from disabled academics and adopt their models of collective accountability and care."" - Karla J.
