About this work

Also known as

Star Trek and disability.

Description

"Infinite diversity in infinite combinations was not just an in-universe philosophy but it was something that Star Trek shows themselves strived to show. While it did have a diverse cast, there were many categories of humanity that went unrepresented. Trek’s representation of disabled people has been sparse and complex. Many tropes for representing disability in the media in general have been heavily influenced by eugenics and sadly Star Trek has not been able to be more progressive than the culture that produced it."--From page 2.
