Disorderly Voices: Construction of the Disabled Speaker with Joshua St. Pierre

Open Access

On this first full episode of Disorderly Voices, hosts Patrick Campbell and Maria Stuart are joined by Josh St. Pierre to discuss his article “The Construction of the Disabled Speaker: Locating Stuttering in Disability Studies.” In this work Josh traces the origins of speech norms and how they are embedded within economic and social structures. Josh, Patrick, and Maria discuss his work within the broader context of disability studies, the relation between stammering and forms of oppression and what it means to develop solidarity among stammerers as a political community.
