Promotional poster for "The Impact of Genuine and Mindful Inclusion of Marginalized Communities in Creative Works"
Thursday, March 9, 2023 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Researching Disability and Play — Where’s the fun in that?

Join Dr. Katta Spiel as they explore the relationship between disability and play. Using the theory on the surrogate body in play, they illustrate how it can be instrumental to critically engage with norms governing digital play and identifying design opportunities playing with said bodily norms to holistically cater to disabled audiences. They do so by focusing on the critical analytical category of disability not just through an access oriented lens per se, but rather to bring principles of disability justice to play.
