University of Michigan Initiative on Disability Studies Fall 2020 Speaker Series: Criptographies

Speaker - Dr. Oluwaferanmi Okanlami
Tuesday, November 17, 2020
7:00-8:00 PM
Off Campus Location
In conjunction with Rackham 580: Introduction to Disability Studies, UMInDS is pleased to bring outstanding scholars, activists, and scholar-activists to our campus as we explore criptographies. A word-play on terms cryptography, the study of ciphers and secret codes, and to crip, a colloquialism that assembles knowledge around nonnormative bodyminds, criptographies suggests an exploration of de-mapped ecologies of neurodivergence and nonnormative embodiment.

Dr. Oluwaferanmi Okanlami
Interim Director, UM Services for Students with Disabilities
Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
University of Michigan

Feranmi Okanlami (he/him) speaks around the country on topics related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, including, but not limited to the lack of black male physicians and creating a health system that is accessible and inclusive to both patients and providers with disabilities.
