Current Activities
Simi Linton travels widely to present at conferences, museums, arts organization, campus-based institutes, and writers’ festivals. Among the topics covered in public presentations and in consultations with arts organizations are:

My Body Politic: An Illustrated History 
This is a theatrical/multi-media adaptation of Linton’s 2006 memoir, My Body Politic.  The work embeds a personal narrative of the lived experience of disability within its social and political context. The story begins in 1971, when she was injured while hitchhiking to Washington, DC to protest the war in Vietnam, and concludes with a meditation on the war in Iraq and its manufacture of disability. By illustrating the ideas, history and people described in My Body Politic, this presentation provides an indelible portrait of an often hidden and misrepresented group.

Disability and the Holocaust: A History Revealed
Since 2001 Simi Linton has presented this event at more than 40 sites in the US, UK and Canada. Her lecture is followed by a screening and panel discussion of Shahar Rozen's documentary Liebe Perla (Israel/Germany 1999), for which Simi is the US representative.

Disability Studies Seminars
Seminars on the integration of disability studies into the curriculum, for faculty and graduate student groups. The seminars are tailored to fit the particular needs of each audience, and are based on Simi’s first book Claiming Disability: Knowledge and Identity, a book widely used in disability studies, English, women’s studies, sociology and other courses.
