what's the relationship between algorithmic ableism and platform polarization?

In a virtual talk I'm giving later this month at Loyola U Chicago, I trace the sticky relationship between ableism and political polarization in the platform age.

thanks to @drgyopophd.bsky.social for the invite!

Home from #ICA25, where I’m still basking in the intellectual community emerging from @weareccsn.bsky.social’s #DebatingCreatorCulture precon. Reunited with old friends and mentors, made new ones. During times like these, I couldn’t ask for anything better. 💕✨💕 until next time!

Wrapped up the spring 2025 semester with a talk for my college yesterday about influencers and democracy.

We reviewed the gendered politics of promotional media, Americans' growing distrust in traditional journalism, and what that means for our current political climate.
