This month, we’re reading What Can a Body Do? How We Meet the Built World by Sara Hendren—a powerful exploration of design, disability, and the body’s infinite possibilities.
Together, we’ll unpack big questions like:
- Who is the built world really built for?
- What does accessible design look like when we move beyond high-tech “solutions”?
- How can we reimagine space, tools, and systems to center interdependence and human variation?
From cyborg arms and zip ties to everyday objects like chairs, lecterns, and ramps, Hendren invites us to see design not as a solo act of genius—but as a collective process shaped by real human needs.
This book is for everyone: designers, educators, developers, caregivers, advocates, and curious readers alike. Whether you read every page or just a few chapters, we’d love to have you in the conversation.
