Funded Activity Summary

Disability and Digital Technology: Accessible Design, Global Media Policy, and Human Rights. Disability is a major area of Australian reform, and digital technology is key to securing historic goals of full social participation. This project offers the first comprehensive investigation of how we invent, design, implement, and regulate technology for people with disabilities. It will provide a theory of disability and technology, with case studies including mobiles, e-readers, and health technologies. The project will examine human rights aspects of technology in the United Nations disability convention, and their relation to global media policy. The project will propose better ways to align human rights frameworks, policy, and technology design to ensure digital participation for Australians with disability.
