ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the way in which disabled faculty simultaneously are and are not in the same spaces as those they work alongside. It reviews and re-defines inclusivity through a disability-studies lens. The chapter explores the concepts of "kairotic space" and "ambience" in order to suggest that inclusivity in architecture is better understood through a concept of crip spacetime. The socio-spatial process of identifying and separating "excludable types" can be observed in many architectural features. Inclusivity is a topos in academic life. A topos, or commonplace topic, is a concept shared by a group as a starting place for communication. The chapter expresses that space was a key concept emerging in the faculty members' stories: how participants navigated their campuses, arranged their offices, entered and exited meeting rooms, interacted with colleagues in social encounters, and how they evaluated the "feeling" of the various spaces in which they worked.
