With the popularity of current television shows like Speechless, Switched at Birth, and Born This Way, audiences are beginning to see accurate, authentic portrayals of people with disabilities. Is this the beginning of a new "Golden Age" in TV?
On Wednesday, April 5 at 12:00 pm EST, the disability studies program at the CUNY School of Professional Studies (CUNY SPS) invites you to further explore this timely topic by joining their webinar titled Can You See Me Now? Authentic Representation of People with Disabilities on Television.
Presented by noted disability and media scholar Dr. Beth Haller, this webinar will offer a detailed conversation about the evolution of authentic representation of people with disabilities on TV and the resulting impact on popular culture.
