Introduction

Abstract

The current system of accommodation in higher education is not only ineffective; it actively impedes sustainable access. Crip spacetime, a theory of disability that focuses on systems, power, and privilege rather than individuals, demonstrates how and why that occurs. The theory of crip spacetime was developed through a twelve-year-long survey and interview study of more than three hundred disabled employees in higher education. Crip spacetime is formed through four major themes, or dimensions: space, time, cost, and accompaniment.
