Should JMU require students to take a disability studies course?
Transcript Disclaimer: “ This episode’s transcript was especially reflective of the issues with voice recording and automated transcript technology. As is seen in the transcript below, the google voice recording tool often recorded inaccurately or stopped recording altogether. If you are someone who does not rely on assistive technology, it is easy to assume that tools such as these work perfectly due to the technological advancements of the modern day. However, as you follow along to our podcast with the transcript below we hope that you think critically about the pitfalls of this technology which are reflected in our transcript.” - Mattie and Emma
How far has JMU come in terms of accessibility for those with disabilities?
Transcript Disclaimer: “We are consciously choosing to leave this podcast transcript as the voice recording tool made it on google. We feel that this tool is not representative of current advances in technology, and a company as prevalent as google should make their own improvements to tools such as this to better serve communities such as the deaf community.” - Mattie and Emma
I recommend this film to anyone who is curious or wants to learn more about the Disability Rights Movement, especially if you want to be an ally!
