This talk takes us through the impetus and set up of disability-forward technology consulting. We begin by looking at disabled critiques of technology, trials in setting things up to get disabled feedback, ideas for setting up disability-forward research, and then we discuss real examples of disability consulting sessions set up by Shew through the DisCoTec Center. Come listen on 9/9 at 11:30am in Sage 5711.

Join us on August 27 at 7pm at Scene One Spectrum Theater for an in-person screening followed by Q&A with Director, Sandi Dubowski and Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie.

Filmmaker Sandi DuBowski follows Amichai Lau-Lavie’s journey from radical drag queen to influential Rabbi of a God-optional, artist-driven New York synagogue. To watch Lau-Lavie interrogate the questions we must all face regardless of our faith—questions of who we are and who we will be—is a deeply stimulating and moving experience.
