Sharp Stick Grasps At Autistic Women’S Liminal Vulnerability, Meaghan Krazinski
Sharp Stick Grasps At Autistic Women’S Liminal Vulnerability, Meaghan Krazinski

I examine the relationship between language and race, exploring how subjects existing within a space of mixedness navigate identity-formation and racial belonging.
