I love everything about this, Cori. First of all, you really remind me of my our daughter Natalie who is doing her PhD in material culture but did her MA thesis on the subject of urban abandoned spaces as exhibition spaces (including the old immigrant hospital on Ellis island). There's even a chapter in her thesis called "Dust, good or bad?" She loves to go down the rabbit hole of inquiry and she would be the first in line (or the second, after me) to buy your BOOK on Geel!
I've loved following Natalie's work! It's fascinating to pull disability and care work out of their little niches and highlight how they're connected to everything. I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the rabbit holes so interesting :)
