Devon Healey is an Assistant Professor of Disability Studies at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto. Her work is grounded in her experience as a blind woman and is guided by a desire to show how blindness and disability can be understood as offering an alternate form of perception and is thus, a valuable and creative way of experiencing and knowing the world. She is the author of Dramatizing Blindness: Disability Studies as Critical Creative Narrative (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) and has contributed to numerous academic publications. Devon is also an award-winning actor and with the support of Outside the March is developing a new play, Rainbow on Mars, a sensory reclamation of blindness premiering summer 2025.
