Amber DiPietra || Send KSP Your Vertical Answers

I wanted to make a quick clarification. At the potluck on Wednesday, Thom mentioned that I was doing a project around disability using the questions that structure of Bhanu Kapil’s The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers. This is my personal angle, but in general, the project is meant to spark up some liveliness around Bhanu’s work as we await Humanimal (forthcoming from KSP in Winter 08).

Everyone is invited to participate, even if your interest is not disability. My aim was also to introduce the idea of interactive blog features in honor of KSP’s new web site. See what you make of it here: http://www.kelseyst.com/news/index.php/2008/07/13/your_vertical_answers/
