Changing Media Perceptions of Disability
On March 16, 2022, AWN hosted a discussion with AJ Link, Kristen Lopez, and Dominick Evans on the topic of changing media perceptions of disability.
Media plays a huge role in shaping public perceptions of disability. This is especially so when a lot of the time people’s only experience of a disabled person or disability culture is through consuming media. How do we change media perceptions of disability so that public perception is more accepting of disabled people? Join us in conversation with Dominick, Kristen, and AJ as we explore how to make these changes.
Moderator: Lydia X. Z. Brown, AWN Director of Policy, Advocacy, and External Affairs
