SUMMARY:DICE Book Launch and Discussion: Sick Work
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Disability Inclusion and Community Empowerment 
 (DICE) Affinity Group\, Duke University Press\, and the Department of 
 Cultural Anthropology for the book launch of Sick Work: Exhaustion\, 
 Labor\, and Invisible Illness by Dr. Emily Lim Rogers\, Assistant Professor 
 of Cultural Anthropology. This event is being held in recognition of 
 National Disability Employment Awareness Month\, and Dr. Rogers will be in 
 conversation with Dr. Catherine Clune-Taylor\, Assistant Professor of 
 Gender\, Sexuality\, and Feminist Studies.\n\nFrom the book jacket:\n\nIn 
 Sick Work\, Emily Lim Rogers shows the unpaid labor it takes to be 
 recognized as sick in the United States. Through a historical and 
 ethnographic account of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome 
 (ME/CFS)—a disease defined by disproportionate exhaustion after any form 
 of exertion\, which has no cure or treatment—she reveals how changing 
 formations of labor decide what counts as disability and what does not. 
 Sickness\, she writes\, is not work’s opposite. Rather\, the frequent 
 dismissal of their disease leaves people with ME/CFS to do their own labor 
 of disease advocacy\, or “sick work\,” even as their symptoms prevent 
 many from working paid jobs. Rogers presents a history of the discursive 
 construction of chronic fatigue and demonstrates its development alongside 
 capitalism since the dawn of industrial management science in the late 
 nineteenth century. These histories\, she argues\, echo through to the 
 present day\, shaping the denial of ME/CFS and the stigma that surrounds 
 it. Examining the everyday lives of people with ME/CFS and their activist 
 movements\, Sick Work describes how they swim upstream against strong tides 
 of disbelief and demands a radical transformation of how work is defined 
 and valued.\n\nThis hybrid event will take place in-person and on Zoom. 
 Accessible parking and building information can be found on the Libraries' 
 website\, and a selection of DICE-branded swag will be available for free. 
 Human-assisted live captioning through Ava will be provided\, while any 
 additional accommodation requests should be directed to Access and 
 Accommodation Services. Members of the Duke community can check out the 
 book online through the Duke University Libraries\, and the Gothic Bookshop 
 will be on-site selling physical copies for signing.\n\nPlease register 
 online to help us estimate attendance.\n\nFor any questions\, contact
