- Drawing from both personal and scholarly experience, Noah Bukowski hopes to change how we think about cure and disability identity. Noah Bukowski is a Ph.D. student in the English department specializing in disability studies. Bukowski researches how disability is culturally produced and teaches ways to make the world more accessible for all. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Thankyou so much for this talk. I am disabled and user of a powered wheelchair and I bump in many people who are obsessed in curing me. I find this such a medieval mindset. I am perfectly happy with myself.
I fell in a coma in September 2005 after a car accident at the age of 19. I was an athlete. I awoke to be diagnosed a quadriplegic with no chance of recovery. I stood within a month. I returned to college 7 months later. But I read about neurological issues by myself, I read about how to strengthen my body through thought, I read how to never give up on myself.
It took me 14 and a half years, so April 2020 to finally respect myself again in terms of who I used to be.
I have a daughter with an incurable disability. Once we visited a church that had a relic of saint Francis with my grandmother and when I told her that my prayer was not for a cure but for continued health and happiness, my grandmother got angry at me and said "well I asked for a cure" 🙄
I am so sorry she got angry with you. My son is on the autism spectrum. I don't ask God for a cure, but I ask Him to keep my son safe, to help him reach his full potential, and to help him live his best life always. Sometimes that's the best we can hope for as parents of children with disabilities, to help them live their life to the fullest and adapt.
Thank you for sharing, Noah.
A person in a wheelchair being approached by an "Expert" who's not disabled, thinking:
"Now, how's this one going to explain anything to me about being bound to a wheelchair?"
This is great to hear!
Noah keeps his desk neat and has the jokes. That's all i got to say.
These are powerful insights you are sharing with the world! This was so insightful for all families, educators, healthcare workers, and advocates alike! Not to mention your humor and key props to your mom! Thank you!
They're not insights they're his forms of denial and delusion..
@@Karma-zx8qe how?
@@Karma-zx8qe what is he denying and what is he delusional about?
How saying it's like a bad thing to have a cure for disabilities and they are like some "blessing" or " good thing"... No they're not! He can speak for himself don't act like he's speaking for tbe rest of us disabled with this cult like mantra and brainwashing
ty
I see those Steven Universe stickers
The closed captions really need to be cleaned up. For example, disabled RUclipsr Jessica Kellgren-Fozard's name is only possible to understand if you know it already.
agreed!!
dude.. soldier on....

Why does he keep saying "tired of upon" - I've never heard this phrase, and googled it without success.
hi the phrase means I'm tired of when e.g I am tired of upon meeting my family ..... I am tired of when meeting my family
i knew with a last name of Bukowski this guy may have some good ideas... wonder if Charles was distant relation.
Idk if Noah is related to Charles but I’ve always wondered. Grew up with him and we attended school together and we were in French class for many years together as well. He’s a philosopher and a writer in his own right, and he is a very smart dude! Today is his bday so I’m watching this video of his and I have to say, whether related or not, they’re both two pretty smart polish guys! ❤
Essential oils. That's how idiotic it gets
How about "or to profit off of"???
Squid show poverty pimps!!!
