2024 Disability Culture Summit: Disability Culture and Technology

As contemporary technology's intersection with disability is reshaping the landscape of accessibility, empowerment, and inclusion, advances in these fields are revolutionizing the way disabled people interact with the world, promoting a more inclusive future where barriers are minimized and potential is maximized.

Please join us for CUNY SPS's inaugural Disability Culture Summit, where we'll welcome panelists specializing in the arts, athletics, and technology to discuss these innovations and challenges. The Summit poses the broad question: How do intersections in technology across disability culture successfully address ableism and increase diversity and inclusion?

Our panelists include:

• Jerron Herman, Performer and Director
• Ryan Martin, Director of Inclusive and Adaptive Sports, CUNY Athletics
• Leroy F. Moore, Jr., Founder, Krip-Hop Nation
• Dr. Ashley Shew, Author and Associate Professor, Science, Technology, and Society, Virginia Tech

ASL interpretation and live captioning will be provided. Additional accommodations may be requested during the registration process.
