Example of Compelled Surveillance: Henry and Disability Disclosure
Henry is a deaf white man and university lecturer who recently lost the ability to speak orally due to surgery. After becoming nonspeaking, Henry was assigned an online-only teaching schedule. This led to jealousy and resentment from his colleagues who wanted to teach all their classes online. Henry was asked by his department chair for permission to discuss his lack of speech in a virtual department meeting to explain Henry's accommodations. While Henry didn't mind it, it is still compelled surveillance that Henry's department chair saw the answer to resentment from department members to be revealing Henry's disability.
