Biography
[edit]Originally from Newark, New Jersey, Mitchell currently resides in Princeville, Kauai.
David T. Mitchell is a professor of English & Cultural Studies at George Washington University. He has published six scholarly books in disability studies and is widely recognized as an international scholar of importance in the field. [1] His co-edited collection (with Sharon Snyder), The Body and Physical Difference: Discourses of Disability (1997) [2], was the first humanities-based collection of academic essays in the field.[3] The influence of that collection led directly to appointment as a series co-editor of "Corporealities: Discourses of Disability"[4] at the University of Michigan Press which has published more than 35 books under its brand to date.
In 2001, he co-authored, Narrative Prosthesis: Disability and the Dependencies of Discourse[5], which forwarded a field-defining theory of disability representation that remains one of the most cited concepts in Disability Studies.[6] His most recent publications include: Cultural Locations of Disability (2006)[7], The Biopolitics of Disability (2015), and The Matter of Disability (2019)[8]. These works have extended the range of his expertise from literary, cultural, and film studies to political economics, disability history, climate change, animal studies and posthumanism. At the center of his work are questions of disability embodiment as providing alternative ethical maps of living.[9] He is currently completing a new feature-length film with his son, Cameron S. Mitchell, on Nazi mass murders in psychiatric institutions titled, Disposable Humanity.
