Disability Media Studies by Elizabeth Ellcessor
This book argues for bringing disability studies into conversation with media studies, showing how disability shapes and is shaped by media representations, technologies, industries, and everyday practices. It examines both portrayals of disabled people and the material infrastructures of media—accessibility features, production labor, platform design and policy—while tracing historical and contemporary activism that has fought for more inclusive media. Combining close readings, archival work, and interviews, it offers an interdisciplinary framework for understanding disability as a central category for analyzing power, access, and cultural meaning in media.
