Organized Possibility of Not Perceiving
Tanya Titchkosky points out that academic spaces that harm disabled people are not often made with the expressed intent of being harmful to disabled people - rather, they have been organized by the possibility of not perceiving how the situations are harmful. In an organized possibility of not perceiving harm - e.g. not having a door large enough for a wheelchair user - the harm is not intended, but the environment is set up in a way where the harm is not readily perceived by those not experiencing it. Price notes by foregrounding harm we can work to undo this organized possibility of not perceiving.
