"Contemporary digital media practices developed and employed by people with disabilities is an important and growing research field, which unfortunately has been neglected by German Media Studies. (...) The proposed scientific network will address these urgent topics and map the field by exploring innovative research approaches and methodologies and by establishing and strengthening links to international scholars in Disability Media Studies. (...) In particular, approaches developed and discussed in Germany, Austria and Switzerland will be connected in a way productive to current research on disability and media in the USA as well as in Canada." The website provides information on the projects developed by the network's participants, on publications, events and much more. The network is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and runs from 2020 to 2023. [Abstract: Site editor’s information supplemented by editors of Education Worldwide]
