As an add-on to my 2010 book, Representing Disability in an Ableist World. Essays on Mass Media, I have created this online resource site.

The book covers my 20 years of research into disability and mass media. It is a one-of-a-kind collection on advertising, news, entertainment television, film and Internet new media.
