Embodied Writing and Decolonizing Knowledge Production: The Social Production of Pain in Lata Mani's Interleaves
with Susan Ferguson

February 25, 2014

Susan explores the possibilities of embodied writing for social research and its implications for decolonizing knowledge production about and of the body, bringing together disability studies, feminist autobiography, phenomenologically-informated interpretive sociology. Through a close reading of Lata Mani's memoir of pain and disability, Interleaves, Susan explores the potential for transnational health knowledge to shape embodied knowledge production that treats the experience of pain as a social activity.

Susan Ferguson is a researcher, writer, and educator with an interest in interpretive social inquiry, autobiography, and innovative writing pedagogies. Susan is currently the Manager, Writing & Learning Centre at OCAD University in Toronto.
