<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">The Status of Women and Equity Committee (SWEC), is excited to welcome Eli Clare to campus tomorrow, Tuesday, October 20. He will give an interactive talk “A Dialogue on Cure,” at 4
p.m. in Federation Hall -- <a href="https://uwaterloo.ca/arts/events/dialogue-cure-presented-status-women-and-equity-committee">

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">A renowned writer, speaker, scholar, and poet, Eli focuses on the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality and disability. Eli’s most recent work challenges us to re-conceive
the idea of the “cure.” The medical model of disability, with its focus on “cure” or management of conditions, is often criticized as stigmatizing and disempowering for individuals with disabilities. Eli's books,
<i>Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling with the Cure</i> (forthcoming) and <i>Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness and Liberation</i>, are both published at Duke University Press. You can learn more about Eli at eliclare.com.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black">Eli is an ideal speaker to address Waterloo’s culture of “innovation” by urging us to carefully consider the ways that technological, medical, and social progress play out across marginalized
bodies. Exploring these concepts is important for the UW community, as students, teachers, academics and as respected contributors to social progress. This interactive talk will ask us to carefully consider how we position ourselves, our research, and our
social justice commitments in relation to the monolithic notion of “cure." <o:p></o:p></span></p>
