Description

Join Eva and Élaina as they cocoon in the warm disabled academic embrace of Molly McCully Brown's "Places I've Taken My Body" essay collection. A poet and a scholar, McCully Brown prompts us to reflect on disability culture and disabled communities, past and present and we get pretty mushy about it. What! It feels so good to be seen. Listen if you too are craving darkly beautiful reflections on living through the cycle of fighting your bodymind, becoming the supercrip, and then forgetting your pain only to start again.

Have you ever read a book and wished you could linger in its world? Has an author ever dropped a reference that makes you want to look it up and fall into a research rabbit hole? In Bookshelf Remix, Sophia and Elaina, two “professional readers” get stuck into reading for fun and things get very nerdy. Drop in on their conversations and follow along as a Mexican-American and Filipina-Canadian discuss books (including spoilers!) by BIPOC, LGBTQ, disabled, and other historically marginalised authors and take a deep dive into themes they want to learn more about.
