"Disability Rights Advocacy Online" Book by Dr. Filippo Trevisan
IDPP is proud to announce that the latest book by Deputy Director, Dr. Filippo Trevisan: Disability Rights Advocacy Online: Voice, Empowerment and Global Connectivity is now available for purchase through Routledge. The book sheds light on disability rights advocates' embrace of new media technologies in unexpected and innovative ways, and asks whether the digitalisation of disability rights advocacy can help re-configure political participation into a more inclusive experience for disabled Internet users, enhancing their stakes in democratic citizenship.
