ABSTRACT

This paper is my testimonio of being a Latina mother-scholar trying to complete a doctorate while managing a chronic condition. I draw on intersectionality and DisCrit to share how my social identities influence my experiences with marginalization and oppression within a neoliberal university context. I highlight the ways in which my impairment was invisibilized and minimized as the normal fatigue associated with motherhood. I note the role Latino communities play in the marginalization of disabled Latinas via disability avoidance and the gendered socialization process that makes Latinas feel obligated to sacrifice for their families and others. This socially constructed narrative of sacrificio, when combined with ableism and the neoliberal university’s focus on productivity, makes it difficult to reveal and embrace an intersectional disability identity. I encourage scholars to consider the implications of this narrative, discussing how intersectionality and DisCrit can help them to (re)imagine knowledge production in the academy.

Sobreviviendo Sin Sacrificando(在不牺牲的情况下生存)– 来自一位疲惫的有色人种学者的交叉批评证词

摘要

这篇论文是我作为一名拉丁裔母亲学者的证明,试图在管理慢性病的同时完成博士学位。我利用交叉性和 DisCrit 来分享我的社会身份如何影响我在新自由主义大学环境中的边缘化和压迫经历。我强调了我的损伤被隐藏和最小化的方式,作为与母性相关的正常疲劳。我注意到拉丁裔社区通过避免残疾和性别化的社会化过程在残疾拉丁裔边缘化中发挥的作用,使拉丁裔感到有义务为家人和他人做出牺牲。这种社会建构的牺牲叙事,当与能力主义和新自由主义大学对生产力的关注相结合时,很难揭示和接受交叉的残疾身份。我鼓励学者们考虑这种叙述的含义,讨论交叉性和 DisCrit 如何帮助他们(重新)想象学院中的知识生产。
