The glass cliff phenomenon refers to a trend in which women and members of marginalized or underrepresented groups are more likely to be appointed to leadership positions in organizations during times of crisis, instability, or when the probability of failure is high. In these situations, individuals who assume leadership roles may face more challenging and precarious circumstances compared to their counterparts who are appointed to leadership in more stable and successful periods.

Claudia Alick had the pleasure of speaking with Emerge July 2023 Hybrid Disability Studies Workshop for Disabled Activists, Artists, Cultural Producers, Filmmakers, and Academics. The fellows are developing deeply exciting projects on topics of access, sex work, colonialism, anti-Blackness, Anti-fatness, cross-movement work and more. They are working in a variety of modalities producing documentaries, zines, and live performance. Claudia discussed their artistic practice, the messy spots they encounter and their tactics for working through them. They also discussed strategies for implementing disability justice in both your work and their organizational culture and what scholar-activism means to them. There was so much love and energy and excitement. It was accessible, disability centered and full of awesome people doing awesome things.
Claudia Alick held an empowering talk about disability identity with the BACKBONES Youth Summer Program. BACKBONES connects people with spinal cord injuries and their families with events and one on one meet-ups. The ten youth participants shared their stories about how they entered the disability community. Claudia shared history of disability movement, disability justice concepts, and accessibility vocabulary that allowed the group to talk about disability identity and their world. We closed with a conversation inspired by The Justice Producers Collaborative about how our disabled identities inform our work in the world and make us uniquely qualified. It was awesome to end reflecting on disabled innovation, resialance, perseverance, creativity, and advocacy. It’s a cool accessible program and we were honored to participate.
As Shakespeare said, All the World’s a Stage and we are all players on that stage. In the metaphorical theater of life, we each take on roles, navigating through the stages set for us. As we interact with the world, we encounter various scripts – some are written and explicit, while others are unwritten and implicit. These scripts define societal norms, expectations, and structures that can either facilitate or hinder access for individuals from diverse backgrounds and abilities. Just as actors collaborate to devise a performance, society must come together to devise access.
