Cover Story: Weaving together critical disability theory with a personal narrative, I share my own pandemic story of illness, grief, disruption, and care. My story is about being propelled to crip time, accept loss, and care radically in a society desperate to maintain the capitalist status quo. I ask: What does it mean to crip time and centre care as an arts-based researcher? What might a commitment to honouring crip time based on radical care do for me, for my research, and for others aspiring toward reworlding scholarship? This is a vulnerable piece to share, even as a tenured academic with the many privileges that bestows. I hope that by disclosing my story in this way, I invite critical conversation about both the limits of the neoliberal academy and the possibilities for holding onto liberatory politics within it. View this paper
