Aymon E. Langlois (he/him) is a disabled award-winning writer, scholar-activist, educator, and consultant.
A member of its intramural Periclean Honors Forum, Langlois graduated from Skidmore College magna cum laude with honor in English. He concentrated during his undergraduate years on the academic study of disability, its representation in cultural forms, and its intersection with contemporary American politics. Langlois revitalised and for three years lead Skidmore's ADA Commission—work for which he was awarded the Rodney D. Andrews Prize in recognition of "cheerful, unobtrusive, and unselfish service." Writing has appeared in JAKE: The Anti-Literary Magazine, Evening Street Review, and Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature. His debut essay collection--Ugly Feet, OCD, and Other Intimations of Resistance: A Narrative Suite on Disability and Masculinity—is out now from Anxiety Press. Pulitzer Prize finalist for The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight, Andrew Leland, has called it "a promising, exhilarating entry into the canon of writing that successfully weaves together memoir and critical inquiry." Langlois is Assistant Director of Accessibility Services at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. A lover of Cheez-Its and nineteenth-century literature, he lives and runs in the Worcester area. |
