Author-Meets-Readers: Loving Our Own Bones: Disability Wisdom and the Spiritual Subversiveness of Knowing Ourselves Whole, Julia Watts Belser

This roundtable brings together a diverse group of scholars to read Julia Watts Belser’s forthcoming book, *Loving Our Own Bones: Disability Wisdom and the Spiritual Subversiveness of Knowing Ourselves Whole* (Beacon 2023). Like Belser’s searching text, this conversation promises to be a unique showcase for what the study of religion has to offer not only the field of disability studies but also our moment and its new, pandemic-derived recognitions of human vulnerability and relationality. It is a response to the demand, issued by Julie Livingston and others, that we reckon more thoroughly with “the relationship that is the body...in a complex and more than human world.”
