Robin Wilson-Beattie This session will discuss how disability
activists and advocates are using Twitter, and using this platform
worldwide to connect and work on disability related causes.
Physical and social barriers to access impact the human rights of
people with disabilities to participate in society. As a disability
and sexuality educator, and disability self and systems advocate, I
will also share some of the ways Twitter has allowed me to learn
about disabled sexuality and reproductive agency and access around
the globe. This talk will be in the form of an educational
(and entertaining) 45 minute presentation, with 15 minutes for
questions and answers, where I will use PowerPoint to visually
illustrate my points and observations. The audience will come away
with an understanding of how people with disabilities are using
Twitter to connect with the world, and work towards creating
positive change in building more accessible and inclusive
communities. The revolution will be Tweeted and Verified!
