• Everyone in our discipline performs complicity with/in its structures in some way. Some of us do so to gain access to professional spaces. With that access, we conspire to enact change, a form of resistance to the damage wreaked by policies decided for us without us. Some of us do so to gain access to professional spaces where we conspire to enact change in resistance to the damage wreaked by policies decided for us without us. We do to practice survivance--survival and resistance to colonial forces--and to build alliances crucial to our physical and mental well-being. In contrast, some scholars practice complicity to reap their rewards by speaking over us as though they speak for us. Here, Jackson and Cedillo challenge everyone to assess the material realities of our approaches to disability scholarship and access work, emphasizing the risk this work creates for the most vulnerable of us.
