CFP special issue “Disability Media Histories”
Deadline: 1 March 2024
“In 2017, Elizabeth Ellcessor and Bill Kirkpatrick edited the anthology Disability Media Studies, to bring together their own and other scholars’ work in the academic fields of disability studies and media studies. Its topics vary from access, production and technology to race, gender and fan culture within film, television, sound and transmedia phenomena. What is not covered extensively, however, is a profound historical and historiographical perspective on the representation of disability and neurodiversity in media (Adams 2017). With this special issue of TMG Journal for Media History, we wish to contribute to this lacune in the field of Disability Media Studies.”
