Strategies for Disability Representation and Inclusion in Contemporary Cultural Media and Arts
This research explores the intersection of disability studies and cultural representation through the lens of 'cripping' and dismantling normative structures. It proposes a study to evaluate the effectiveness of specific inclusion strategies in contemporary media.
In plain words
Today's media and art show disability in many ways. Do these portrayals challenge everyday assumptions about disability or quietly reinforce them, and which ways of including disabled people change how audiences see it?
Primary research question
How do contemporary cultural representations of disability challenge or reinforce existing social norms?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
It remains useful to test the impact of specific representational strategies on audience perceptions of disability.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
This work will contribute to more inclusive cultural production and critical disability theory.
