Ly Xīnzhèn M. Zhǎngsūn Brown Biography

Ly Xīnzhèn M. Zhǎngsūn Brown is an internationally recognized advocate, community organizer, community builder, and scholar-activist whose work addresses interpersonal, corporate, and state violence targeting disabled people at intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, faith, language, and nation. They have worked for over 15 years as a committed advocate, community organizer, and policy expert at the nexus of disability rights and disability justice (these are not the same), and have run for public office in Maryland. Current research projects include disability justice interventions against carceral technology and expansion of medical-legal carceral states; disability and race in transnational and transracial adoption; and decolonizing clinical literature on obsessive-compulsive disorder. Disability Justice and abolition are their political homes as an organizer; as a feminist critical legal studies scholar, they work in critical race and disability theory and in science and technology studies.

Brown is assistant teaching professor of disability studies at Georgetown University, where they have developed original courses focused on crip/mad/queer narratives, the neurodiversity movement, disability law and policy, and disability and critical race theory. They are also founding Executive Director of The Autistic People of Color Fund, which is a trans, BIPOC, and disabled-led organization advocating for disability, racial, and economic justice with a focus on mutual aid, generative economies, and just transition. For the past several years, Brown has also been creating Disability Justice Wisdom Tarot, a cultural project celebrating disabled people of color's wisdom and being.

Brown serves as treasurer and past president of the Disability Rights Bar Association, the Disability Justice Committee's representative to the National Lawyers Guild board, and board member of Disability Power Bloc. Recently, they were appointed to serve as a Commissioner on the Maryland Commission on LGBTQIA+ Affairs. Formerly, Brown led the only policy and advocacy project in the United States focused on disability rights, algorithmic harm, and technology justice for several years. They co-authored a recent research and policy report on labor, disability rights, and emerging tech in the workplace. Other recent publications appear in FUTURE/PRESENT: Arts in a Changing America, Disability Studies Quarterly, Autism in Adulthood, and Disability Visibility Project.

Brown's work has been recognized in Amplifier’s We The Future Campaign, as well as in multiple documentaries and media projects, including I Identify As Me (People of Color Productions), American Renegades (PBS), The Ride Ahead and My Disability Roadmap(LikeRightNow Films), and Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests (HBO Max). They are a past Georgetown Gender+ Justice Initiative Fellow and a Justice Catalyst Fellow at the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law.

Ly Xīnzhèn M. Zhǎngsūn Brown Speaking Topics

Radical Access, Community Care, and Collective Liberation by/for Disabled Students

Disabled people have always been at the forefront of movements for justice and freedom, building networks of care and solidarity, and creating social and cultural transformation. Disabled students organized to create the first disabled-run direct services center in Berkeley in the 1960's, bring the first Deaf president of the nation's only Deaf university in the 1980's, and create Disability Cultural Centers at a growing number of universities since the 1990's and peer-led, abolitionist, anticarceral support by/for neurodivergent and mad people. Come to this session to find solidarity, community, connection, and witness. You'll learn about histories of powerful disabled students' organizing and community building, gain tools for knowing and caring for ourselves and each other, and plant seeds for future connection, growth, and transformation.
Beyond Student Services and Support: Disability Justice Transforming Higher Education

Neurodivergent, crip, mad, sick, and disabled people are already present in colleges and universities. Yet pervasive ableism, reinforced and intersecting with other forms of systemic injustice and structural oppression, relegates us to the margins, keeps us outside the gates, and forces too many of us out. Disabled students, scholars, and community members are working constantly to challenge the narrative that we do not belong in the academy. Beyond inclusion and belonging, Disability Justice demands recognition and respect for disabled people's ways of knowing, being, learning, teaching, and relating. Disability Justice transcends frameworks of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and challenges us to incorporate multimodality, flexibility, fluidity, and interdependence into our pedagogies, technologies, classrooms, and communities.

Why Disability Justice is an Intersectional Imperative for Our Futures and Our Freedom

Neurodivergent, crip, mad, and disabled people are already present in all of our communities. Yet we face the constant presence of pervasive ableism (disability prejudice and oppression), reinforced and intersecting with other forms of systemic injustice. Disabled people are working constantly to challenge the narratives that we do not belong in society, and to demand recognition and respect for disabled people's ways of knowing, being, learning, and relating. Disability justice analysis enables us to understand the necessary role of ableism in shaping social thought, research, and policy about race, class, gender, sexuality, and nation

• and to challenge arbitrary notions of "normal" and "wellness" that undergird oppressive systems and influence our everyday lives. Disability Justice principles and practices offer radical and revolutionary ways of reimagining our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the communities where we live, work, and learn. Disability Justice goes beyond the frameworks of equity, inclusion, and diversity, and challenges us to incorporate multimodality, flexibility, and interdependence into our workplaces, research agendas, technologies, design, and communities.
