The School of Art in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to welcome J.T. Eisenhauer Richardson, associate professor in the arts administration, education and policy department at The Ohio State University, to the Visiting Lecture Series. The virtual lecture will be held at 5:30 p.m. today, Thursday, March 30.

Richardson's current research explores agential realism, materiality, language and space through neurodivergent sensory and social experience. Richardson considers the construct of normalcy through trans/crip/(neuro)queer poetics, crip technoscience and disability justice.

For tonight's lecture, Richardson will present Crawl Space, a civic encounter with citizenship language through crip movement, crip time and sensation. Richardson extends corpus linguistic technology and language datafication to encounter the materiality of language through poetics, performance, sound and embodied "data wandering."

Richardson's work considers the aliveness of data and technologies as collaborators rather than tools. Crawl Space emerges from a larger research project examining how the "good citizen" becomes defined through ability, action, engagement, participation and knowledge. What Richardson describes as arts-based policy research proposes the materiality of language as an additional linguistic and policy register. 

Richardson's publications include academic scholarship, poetry and creative nonfiction appearing in numerous books and journals, including Studies in Art Education, Disability Studies Quarterly, International Review of Qualitative Research and the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies.

Most recently, Richardson's publications include Museum Education for Disability Justice and Liberatory Access, co-authored with Dana Klethcka and published in Journal of Museum Education and Admission: The Mycelia of Neuroqueer Touch published in Neurodivergence and Architecture.

All are invited to join Richardson's lecture at 5:30 p.m. today, Thursday, March 30, on Zoom.
