Danielle Lorenz, PhD candidate at @UAlbertaEd. I will be outlining how I, as an Associate Editor of @TheCJDS (an #OpenAccess critical disability studies journal) used a single bracket elimination tournament to casually educate folks on bad disability representation. #MWSOTL 1/11
As @HGulka et al. wrote in their recently published article (cjds.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cjds…), if disabled ppl are included in film/tv, they’re “portrayed in negative, stereotypical, and unauthentic ways,” usually by non-disabled actors (see also Barnes, 1992). 2/11 #MWSOTL
Knowing this, I created The Worst Representations of Disability Tournament (“The Worsties”; #TourneyCJDS) as a form of crip narrative resistance to normative, problematic disability tropes in literature, film, and TV. 3/11 #MWSOTL
