Media often portray disability and technology in powerful and sometimes problematic ways, especially genres like science fiction. Kayla Brown is passionate about media representation and loves talking to people about her favorite shows/books/podcasts/whatever else she's hyperfocused on at the time. In this webinar, she will explore representation in media and pop culture; what portrayals, especially those related to technology, reveal about real-world innovation; and where narratives veer off course.
