Dr. Harris Kornstein and their colleagues have been recognized by the British Sociological Association with the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness Book Prize for their co-edited volume, How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic. OpenSquare, the open-access arm of NYU Press, describes this powerful collection of experiences and perspectives as one that "charts the legacies of this 'mass disabling event' [COVID-19] for uncertain viral futures, exploring the dialectic between disproportionate risk and the creativity of a disability justice response."
