Ableist Algorithms and Digital Disability

This talk will explain how the increasing integration of algorithmic technologies into our daily lives not only relies on structures of ableism in society, but imposes new ableist social and political structures through their everyday applications. As a result, there is a need to think through how disability is mediated through our increasingly digitized world.
