December 19, 2019

Today’s episode is about cyborgs with Ashley Shew (@ashleyshoo) and Jillian Weise. Ashley is an assistant professor at Virginia Tech in the Science, Technology, and Society department and her current work centers on the idea of technoableism, a critical lens to narratives about technology and disability. Jillian is a poet, performance artist and disability rights activist. Jillian has written about being a cyborg for Granta and the NYT. The three of us share our shared identities as cyborgs and what that means to us. You’ll also learn more about tryborgs and technoableism and how they relate to disabled people. Disability Visibility is a production of the Disability Visibility Project, an online community dedicated to recording, amplifying, and sharing disability media and culture.
