SUMMARY:Stories on Disability Through Our Voices: Born This Way—A Conversation Between Author Yoon Joo Lee and Professor David J. Connor
DESCRIPTION:This event celebrates the publication of Stories on Disability Through Our Voices: Born This Way (Routledge\, 2025)\, the first solo book by Yoon Joo Lee\, associate professor of childhood\, bilingual\, and special education. Lee will be joined by Professor Emeritus David J. Connor\, Hunter College (CUNY). The book explores the lived experiences of Korean and Korean American women with visible disabilities in South Korea and the United States. Drawing upon the work of scholars in disability studies in education and feminist disability studies\, it challenges readers to (re)consider their own misconceptions and assumptions about disability and reconceptualize their understanding of diversity. Lee’s work is distinguished by her ability to connect personally with the women she interviews\, sharing unique yet overlapping experiences as a woman with visible disabilities. Part of the Routledge Book Series Autocritical Disability Studies\, the book uses autoethnography to center the researcher’s personal experiences throughout the process. Lee and Connor will engage in a conversation around values of foregrounding voices of individuals with disabilities in various forms of research.

SUMMARY:King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Life of Struggle Outside the South—A Conversation With Author Jeanne Theoharis and Researchers David Rondeau\, Tyra Smart\, and Gabrielle White
DESCRIPTION:The Martin Luther King Jr. of popular memory vanquished Jim Crow in the South. But in this myth-shattering book\, Jeanne Theoharis argues that King’s time in Boston\, New York\, Los Angeles\, and Chicago was at the heart of his campaign for racial justice. King of the North follows the Kings as they come of age in school in the North and as he crisscrosses the country from the Northeast to the West Coast\, challenging school segregation\, police brutality\, housing segregation\, and job discrimination. For these efforts\, he was relentlessly attacked by white liberals\, the federal government\, and the national media. \nJoin us on for a conversation on King of the North—particularly focused on how the nation’s flagship print media covered King’s work outside the South—with Jeanne Theoharis and three of her research assistants for the book\, Brooklyn College graduates David Rondeau\, Tyra Smart\, and Gabrielle White\, who helped her document this media story.
