This video/performance explores time, movement, observation, and rest through the experience of a scholar disabled at the intersection of ‘academia x chronic illness.’ Multiple videos of the subject in the midst of daily campus foot traffic will playback at different speeds, along with several textual provocations, allowing viewers to consider the rushed pace of ‘two-a-year’ academia. Viewers are prompted to consider how the pace at which we engage with research may change the kinds of work that become possible. #SlowLS asks us to consider our pace through our pipeline: from grant to human relation, analysis, rest, and writing. #SlowLS asks us to consider whether we are holding space for humanizing journeys, and the complicated ways disability might help us push back on the oppressive rush of academia.

This page is under construction and the video is to follow. Check back in June!
