Today’s episode features an interview with Lydia Cooper and Matthew Reznicek, the guest editors of a brand new special issue of Studies in the Novel focusing on “Disease and Disability.”
As they say in their introduction, “This special issue offers critical insights into the way the novel as a form intertwines, disaggregates, confounds, and represents the embodied experience of disability and disease.” With articles that consider Nathanael Hawthorne, Ling Ma, Toni Morrison, Somerset Maugham, Wilkie Collins, and more, this discussion sets the stage for a can’t-miss issue of studies in the way novels can challenge and broaden "our understanding of how and why novelistic discourse is uniquely capable of representations of disease and disability”

On today’s episode, we talk with Patrick McKelvey about his new article for Theatre Journal about the early 20th century publicity campaign that popularized the Seeing Eye Dog.
Patrick McKelvey is an Associate Professor of Theatre at Notre Dame, and his research focuses the theatrical, cultural, and social history of disability in the twentieth-century United States. His first book, Disability Works: Performance After Rehabilitation (New York University Press, 2024) examines the relationship between US disability policy and the disability arts and culture movement, 1960-1990.
He’s also currently a National Humanities Center Fellow, as well as Book Review Editor for American Quarterly, another of the journals Hopkins Press publishes.
