Tobin Siebers (1953–2015) was a professor of literature, art, and design at the University of Michigan, and a key figure in the development of disability studies. Siebers received a poliomyelitis diagnosis at two years old and lived with post-polio syndrome for the rest of his life, an experience he described in his essay "My Withered Limb."[1] His important books include Disability Theory (2008) and Disability Aesthetics (ISBN 9781501728112, 2010). Performance artist and disability activist Petra Kuppers referred to these works as "field defining."[2] In 2015, the University of Michigan Department of English Language and Literature, the U-M Press, and U-M Library established The Tobin Siebers Prize for Disability Studies.[3]
