Georgina is a professor emerita of English at the University of California Berkeley, where she taught creative writing and disability studies. Her collection of personal essays, Sight Unseen, is a classic in the field of disability studies. Essays include an autobiographical account of Kleege's own blindness and a cultural critique of depictions of blindness in literature, film, and language. Many of these essays are required reading for students in disability studies, as well as visual culture, education, public health, psychology, philosophy, and ophthalmology.
Blind Rage: Letters to Helen Keller transcends the boundaries between fiction and nonfiction to reimagine the life and legacy of the celebrated disability icon. Kleege's latest book More Than Meets the Eye: What Blindness Brings to Art is concerned with blindness and visual art, how blindness is represented in art, how blindness affects the lives of visual artists, and how museums can make visual art accessible to people who are blind or low vision. Georgina has lectured and served as a consultant to art institutions around the world. She now lives in New York City.
