I’m an associate professor of English at The Ohio State University, specializing in disability studies and rhetoric/composition/literacy. I am a near-constant knitter, an inline skater, and have a five-pound dog named Ivy. and a 55-pound service dog named Otis. I am white, a genderqueer femme, and disabled. I use the pronouns she/her/hers. The best way to reach me is to use my OSU email, which is price.1225 (at) osu.edu.
My book Mad at School: Rhetorics of Mental Disability and Academic Life (University of Michigan Press) won the Outstanding Book Award from CCCC. Katie Rose Guest Pryal in the Chronicle of Higher Education calls Mad at School “the book about mental health and higher education.” Reviews, annotations and commentary have appeared in College Composition and Communication; the Literature, Arts, and Medicine Database; Disability Studies Quarterly; Hypatia; the Social Science Research Network; and Composition Forum.
Other writing appears in Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology and Pedagogy; Hypatia; Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture; Inside Higher Education; Creative Nonfiction; College Composition and Communication; Profession; Disability Studies Quarterly; Enculturation; and other venues. I hold a PhD in rhetoric/composition from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, an MFA in fiction writing from the University of Michigan, and a BA from Amherst College.
My second book, Crip Spacetime, has just been released from Duke University Press and is available open-source on the book’s website. You are also welcome to order a paper copy for 30% off by using the code E24PRICE. Sara Ahmed calls Crip Spacetime “a very important book not only for disability studies, gender studies, and race studies but also for anyone whose project is to think deeply about the reproduction of institutions as being for some and not for others.”
In August 2017, I was honored to be inducted into the Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame. In Spring 2022, I traveled to the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, as a Fulbright Scholar.
