When disability scholars and activists critique the definition of impairment, they generally place the concept in the genealogy of medicalization and inappropriate pathologization. Yet as this talk will show, the history of impairment is as bureaucratic and actuarial as it is medical. \r\n\r\nPopularized by the American life insurance industry in the early twentieth century, \"impairment\" indicates rating as well as diagnosis\u2014the attachment of value, risk, or financial loss to particular traits. Specifically, impairment emerged as a form of information for corporate surveillance when life insurance companies joined with the Library Bureau in the 1890s to pool data on \u201cimpaired risks\u201d among applicants. \r\n\r\nThis talk is drawn from a forthcoming article by Mara Mills and Dan Bouk, written after years of speculation among the authors that our areas of expertise\u2014the history of disability and technology (Mills) and the history of life insurance (Bouk)\u2014have more than a passing affinity.\r\n\r\nBio: Mara Mills is Associate Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University and founding co-director of the NYU Center for Disability Studies. She is also a founding editorial board member of Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience. She is recently co-editor of Testing Hearing: The Making of Modern Aurality (Oxford 2020), Crip Authorship: Disability as Method (NYU 2023), and a forthcoming special issue of Osiris on \"Disability and the History of Science\" (2024). Upcoming publications include the NSF-funded edited collection How to be Disabled in a Pandemic (NYU Press), a coauthored book with Jonathan Sterne on time stretching, and an NEH-funded collaborative research project with Michele Friedner on \"The Global Cochlear Implant.\"\r\n\r\nCo-sponsors: Departments of American Culture; Communication and Media, Center for Ethics, Society and Computing; UM Initiative in Disability Studies", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"102183-21828428@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/102183", "building_id":"1000152", "building_name":"Tisch Hall", "campus_maps_id":"541", "room":"1014", "location_name":"Tisch Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Data Curation","Public Policy","Information and Technology","Health Communication"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Science, Technology and Society", "group_id":"3327", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/sts" }, { "group_name":"Department of American Culture", "group_id":"3309", "website":"http:\/\/lsa.umich.edu\/ac" }, { "group_name":"Communication and Media", "group_id":"3532", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2022\/12\/event_102183_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21828428 } , "115714-21835416": { "datetime_modified":"20231201T182035", "datetime_start":"20231204T160000", "datetime_end":"20231204T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2023-12-04", "date_end":"2023-12-04", "time_start":"16:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Student Combinatorics: Heronian friezes", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Student Combinatorics: Heronian friezes: Katie Waddle", "event_subtitle":"Katie Waddle", "event_type":"Workshop \/ Seminar", "event_type_id":"21", "description":"In 2020 Sergey Fomin and Linus Setiabrata introduced an algebraic object called a Heronian frieze that is an analogue of the frieze patterns introduced and studied by Coxeter and Conway in the 1970s inspired by the Euclidean geometry of polygon triangulation.
