Disability is a critical and growing area of inquiry in communication and media studies. It intersects with key domains such as representation, activism and social justice, access, mobile communications, technology, policy, culture, identity, health, popular culture, and media, among others.
Despite its relevance across ICA divisions and interest groups, with disability communication and media scholars across a range of ICA divisions and interest groups, as well as similar interest groups in other organisations, there is currently no dedicated interest group on the subject at ICA.
We are looking to change that by submitting an Interest Group application this November.
If you're an ICA member, we invite you to click the button above or follow this link to enter the platform (you'll need to log in) and support our petition.
You can also help us by sharing this flyer on your social media platforms, printing it, or letting your colleagues know about our initiative. Thank you very much in advance for your support.
