Elizabeth Ellcessor is Associate Professor in Media Studies at the University of Virginia and a Senior Faculty Fellow at the Miller Center. She is the author of Restricted Access: Media, Disability, and the Politics of Participation and co-editor of Disability Media Studies.
Elizabeth Ellcessor’s inspiring book Restricted Access: Media,
Disability, and the Politics of
Participation lies at the intersection of disability, technology,
culture, and bodies, and it raises new questions in these
intersecting research fields. It is a timely and welcome work that
fills in the research gap between disability studies and media
studies.
*International Journal of Communication*
Ellcessor calls for cultural collaboration that does not exclude
disability culture or attempt to erase disability culture in the
name of universal design.
*Choice*
Restricted Accesstransforms our understanding of what 'access'
means in an age when so much writing on new media fetishizes
participation.Elizabeth Ellcessor reveals the ways in which
ability, culture, and technology are all entangled in questions of
accessibility. Timely and sophisticated, Ellcessors book is a major
advance in media studies and disability studies, and will also be
of great interest to scholars in policy.
