I presented on the topic of ‘technologies of disability in virtual worlds’ at an event hosted by Dr Anna Hickey-Moody in the Department of Gender & Cultural Studies, School of Philosophical & Historical Inquiry at the University of Sydney on the 31st July 2009.
The seminar focused on understanding technology as an act of thought and a material craft. The speakers, Dr Anna Hickey-Moody, Professor Gerard Goggin and Dr Denise Wood discussed material technologies such as film, virtual worlds and telecommunications through technologies of thought intended to open up bio-political conceptualizations of disability.
