Fries, an author and activist whose work focuses on his experiences of being disabled and gay, comes to UMW to deliver the keynote address for James Farmer Multicultural Center\u2019s duo of commemorations: Disability Awareness Month and Gender & Sexual Minorities & Allies cultural celebration. The event will be held in the University Center\u2019s Chandler Ballroom Wednesday at 4 p.m. and livestreamed via Zoom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A prolific writer, Fries earned a master\u2019s degree in playwriting from Columbia University. He has published the award-winning In the Province of the Gods<\/em>, The History of My Shoes and The Evolution of Darwin\u2019s Theory<\/em> and Body, Remember: A Memoir <\/em>as well as several books of poetry, and he edited the literary anthology Staring Back: The Disability Experience from the Inside Out<\/em>. Fries is also the recipient of numerous awards, grants and fellowships and is a two-time Fulbright Scholar.<\/p>\n

In addition, he has used his own platform to advocate for better disability representation in mainstream culture and to challenge ableist stereotypes, developing the Fries test<\/a> to assess works based on their portrayal of disabled characters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat keeps me at it is knowing how rare it is to see accurate depictions of the disability experience,\u201d Fries said. Hearing the perspectives of people living, and thriving, with their disabilities can make people feel less alone, he added, and even help them \u201cimagine the possibilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fries has done that through his own life and work, which spans genres and the globe. He\u2019s carefully treaded trails in the Galapagos Islands, intertwining the history and science of disability with an exploration of his identity. And he\u2019s navigated cobbled German streets for Stumbling over History: Disability and the Holocaust<\/em>. The deeply personal work-in-progress \u2013 Fries is also Jewish \u2013 puts a spotlight on the mass murder of 9,000 disabled people by the Nazis at the start of World War II.<\/p>\n

Then, knowing that his time to live abroad was limited due to physical issues, Fries applied for a grant and moved to Japan \u2013 a society not historically known for embracing diversity. His transformative journey, which shook his assumptions about the country, the body and mortality, became the basis for In the Province of the Gods<\/em>. \u201cI met many friends with whom I remain close and was welcomed in Japan in a way I haven\u2019t experienced elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fries\u2019 plans for the future include a new book of essays and work on a three-year grant from the Canadian Council for the Arts, which will support multiple projects, including Queering the Crip, Cripping the Queer<\/em>, the world\u2019s first international exhibit on disability history and art, held in Berlin.<\/p>\n

In his work teaching creative writing at Vermont\u2019s Goddard College and giving lectures at schools like Mary Washington, Fries hopes to connect younger disabled writers and audiences to the rich trove of disability history and culture.\u00a0He also wants those who are nondisabled to understand that disability touches all of our lives, especially as we age.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes down to it, disability is all about change,\u201d he said, \u201cso the experience is quite universal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
