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.
