Representations of Disability in Popular Culture

She will explain her work as a scholar and activist with particular focus on discrimination, the intersection of disability and race, as well as unique cultural and social challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Event is free and open to the public. Event will be hosted on Microsoft Teams (http://ow.ly/3sUh50FUkN4). A Teams account is not required if accessed on a web browser as a guest.
