Congrats to Duke Disability Alliance advisor & Health Humanities Lab co-director Marion Quirici!

"Along with the courses she has taught and research she has conducted, Quirici continues to push for scholarly discourse on disability as an activist and changemaker. As the faculty director of the Duke Disability Alliance, Quirici fought hard for the creation of a Disability Cultural Center, anticipated to open in the Bryan Center this fall. Quirici also founded and directs the Disability and Access Initiative, a group of faculty across disciplines aiming to promote disability justice and disability-conscious pedagogy on campus."

Duke’s pioneers are the people and organizations who push the University forward, relentlessly reimagining every aspect of our community with boundless energy and passion. They question the status quo and refuse to accept anything that is unjust or unsatisfactory.
