    Episode 3: Disability, morality and cultural representations

    Hello there friends! It has been a while! I finally finished the third episode of the show, where I dive into topics of media representation and our ideas and anxieties regarding disability.

    Episode 1: Slacktivism, Social Media and the Age of (mis)information

    Hello friends! Today's episode will be a bit different than what will be following: I will ramble on about Slacktivism, our educational systems and Social Media! I also provide a short introduction to the podcast, what I will be doing, who I am and why I am doing this! Here are some things I would find helpful moving forward if you're interested in what I talked about: The social dilemma (Documentary, Netflix): Interesting documentary about the way that Social Media is built, and the dark side to it. Murder to Mercy: The Cyntoia Brown Story (Documentary, Netflix): This is another documentary, not so directly related to what I spoke about, but illustrative of the power of social media activism in real life. Losing Relatives to Fox News (Podcast episode, You're Wrong About): This is an episode of my favourite podcast which dives deeper into some of the stuff I talked about regarding conspiracy theories and such.  Feel free to dm me on Instagram (@LeonorAAmaral) or send me an email (leonoralbuquerqueamaral@gmail.com) if you have any feedback or suggestions moving forward!
