Her book Crip Spacetime, drawing on findings from this study, is forthcoming in 2024 from Duke University Press. Price’s first book, Mad at School: Rhetorics of Mental Disability and Academic Life (University of Michigan Press), won the Outstanding Book Award from the Conference on College Composition & Communication (CCCC).
