Session D: From Civil Rights to Human Rights: A Documentary Perspective
- Date and Time
- Tuesday, April 22, 3:45 PM to 5:15 PM
- Presenters
-
- Marian Lupo, J.D., Ph.D. (Disability Studies, The Ohio State University)
- Wendy Chrisman (Doctoral Student; Disability Studies, The Ohio State University)
- Michael Sasso (Doctoral Student, Disability Studies, The Ohio State University and Writing Center Director, The Ohio State University at Mansfield)
- Description
- This hybrid presentation, part panel and part discussion, will use documentaries as a window on past and present representations of disability. Through these windows, we hope to engage the audience in thinking about the future of disability rights and representations. The presenters will examine samples of past and current documentaries to examine differences in the treatment of the person, the filming techniques, and the ethical questions raised, with a focus on mental health documentaries, Ohio voting rights documentaries, and YouTube documentaries. The audience will then be engaged in a discussion on how representations of disability in the future can help us move from a rights-based, civil rights model to a more inclusive and empowering human rights model.
