All Moravian College policies on academic integrity apply. Plagiarism or cheating will result in a 0
on this exam and/or an F for the course.
If you use any direct wording, phrases, quotes or close paraphrases, please be extra careful to also
explain the ideas in your own words. Say what you think it means, linking it to the author’s views
without “parroting” them back in wording similar to the author’s.
Your exam answers will be graded for the clarity and quality of your writing, in addition to the
content itself. Strive to be so clear that your answers cannot be misunderstood.
You must do enough questions to add up to 100 possible points. You may go slightly over, to
make the math come out. (There’s no extra credit.) If you do more than 100, your final score will
be converted to a 100-point scale (the number of points received divided by the number of points
attempted).
For example, if you attempt 80 points and get 75 correct, the score would be 75 (75% of the 100
that you were required to attempt.) C.
If you attempt 100 and get 90 points, the score would be 90 (90% of the 100) A.
If you attempt 120 and get 90 points, the score would be 75 (75% of the 120))C.
If you attempt 120 and get 110 points, the score would be 91.66 (91.66% of the 120) A..

PREFACE
WRITING (WITH) A MOVEMENT FROM BED
When I moved to Oakland in 2007, I started writing from bed. I
wrote in old sleep pants, lying on a heating pad, during the hours I
spent in my big sick-and-disabled femme of color bed cave. I wasn’t
alone in this. I did so alongside many other sick and disabled writers
making culture. Writing from bed is a time-honored disabled way of
being an activist and cultural worker. It’s one the mainstream doesn’t
often acknowledge but whose lineage stretches from Frida Kahlo
painting in bed to Grace Lee Boggs writing in her wheelchair at age
ninety-eight.
I had very good timing. I moved to Oakland just as disability
justice was birthing itself as a movement. “Disability justice” is a
term coined by the Black, brown, queer, and trans members of the
original Disability Justice Collective, founded in 2005 by Patty Berne,
Mia Mingus, Stacey Milbern, Leroy Moore, Eli Clare, and Sebastian
Margaret. Disabled queer and trans Black, Asian, and white activists
and artists, they dreamed up a movement-building framework that
would center the lives, needs, and organizing strategies of disabled
queer and trans and/or Black and brown people marginalized from
mainstream disability rights organizing’s white-dominated, single-
issue focus. Sins Invalid’, the disability justice performance collective
cocreated by Patty Berne and Leroy Moore, was based in Oakland
and was shaking things up with its large-scale, beautifully produced
performances about Black and brown queer disabled sex, bodies, and
struggles, its use of culture as a weapon to reshape people’s dreams,
nightmares, and future visions of disabled Black and brown queer
liberation. The writing of disabled queer Black and brown writers and
activists like Mia Mingus, Stacey Milbern, Aurora Levins Morales,
and Billie Rain was shaking things up online and in print, their pieces
being passed from hand to hand in communities I was part of. I was
reading them over and over again, silently in my room, my brain
breaking open. I had never seen disabled queer and trans Black,
Indigenous, and people of color (QTBIPOC) writers talking about the
nitty-gritty facts of our lives out loud before, without apology. It felt
like queer crip of color writers were creating space for sick and
disabled queer and trans people of color to name ourselves as
disabled, our kind of disabled, for the first time, and talk about the
shit we’d only whispered before. We were finding ourselves, and each
other, and making sick and disabled QTBIPOC space that held our
PC

1. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha’s Care Work (just like Roderick Ferguson’s One Dimensional
Queer) tells stories of how dominant narratives of various social movements have “whitewashed,”

according to Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.

particular pressures and stresses in activist work.
