Description
Situated at the intersection of cultural criticism and social activism, this course explores the tangible and ephemeral effects of digital culture on the ways disability is objectified, subjected and (re)claimed. Through case studies and class-driven research, students in this course will consider the emancipatory and subjective possibilities of the Internet for disabled people and develop real world strategies to create equitable space for disability online.
