What does law mean in crisis? How crip feminist technoscience will save us
Scholar Ly Zhǎngsūn Brown uses crip feminist technoscience to challenge empire, white supremacy, and AI through a disability justice lens.
Why we picked this
Disability justice rarely gets the intellectual platform it deserves. Brown's framework — crip feminist technoscience — offers a genuinely original lens on AI, law, and survival that challenges nearly every assumption about whose bodies matter in the tech economy.
The dominant frameworks for understanding AI, law, and technology assume a particular kind of body and a particular kind of mind. Scholar Ly Zhǎngsūn Brown challenges these assumptions through crip feminist technoscience — a framework that centers disability justice to reveal what mainstream analysis misses about empire, white supremacy, and late-stage capitalism.
This isn’t theoretical abstraction. Brown’s work connects disability justice to concrete questions about who technology is designed for, whose survival is prioritized, and what it means to make law in a moment of overlapping crises.
