Blog Post on a Cultural Representation of Disability (LS) [due Nov. 11]
In a blog post of 150-250 words, describe a cultural representation of disability (if possible, one you are already familiar with) and evaluate how disability is being represented in it. This cultural representation of disability can be from a newspaper article, an episode of a TV show, a movie, a song, a comic book, a novel, a poem, a short story, a joke, or an image/meme. In your evaluation of the representation, ask yourself how disability is functioning? You might also question whether the representation of disability conform to or refute one of the stereotypes of disability we discussed on Friday. Be ready to share your findings in class on Monday.
