From an idea in 2008 to a book in 2025, ECHOES OF CARE: DEAFNESS IN MODERN BRITAIN has been published by @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social ! It explores how changing perceptions of deafness intersected with healthcare, disability, and eugenics in 19th-century Britain.

www.mqup.ca/echoes-of-ca...
A book standing upright on multiple copies, which are laying next to a 1920s Underwood typewriter. The book cover is a faded and blurry background, with a photo of a person’s ear horizontal on the bottom, and text emitting from it to represent sound. The text in large font says “Echoes of Care” followed by “Deafness in Modern Britain” and the author’s name, Jaipreet Virdi.

Access to Work application takes most of my afternoon, and then I see their cheery response that they’ll reply in the next… 24 weeks. That’s a third of my contract. (I think I knew this but had repressed it, as you do.) Academic ableism is structural, I mutter, as I get back to reading about it

Great question. I'm staring down the barrel of turning 50 next week and having a very similar existential moment.

And if it was anyone else who said that they were doing this, what would you say back to them? You'd give your excellent advice as always. Go, look in the mirror, and celebrate your choices.
