• ”Bree Hadley, Janice Rieger, Katie Ellis, Eddie Paterson (2024) Cultural safety as a foundation for allyship in disability arts. Disability & Society, 39(1), pp. 213-233.”
  "In this article, we argue that cultural safety, respect, and trust is a precursor to good allyship in the creative industries. We outline factors that influence feelings of safety or non-safety for disabled arts and media makers, and the way the legacy of the medical model makes it difficult for many arts and media workers to appreciate and enact enablers of safety as part of an allyship relationship."
• "Bree Hadley, Janice Rieger, Eddie Paterson (2024) Reinhabiting, Reimagining, and Recreating Ableist Spaces: Embodied Criticality In Art. In Ellis, Katie, Kent, Mike, & Cousins, Kim (Eds.) The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Disability Studies. Routledge, pp. 48-58."
  "In this chapter we bring critical disability studies into dialogue with disability artworks that resituate critiques of inaccessibility and exclusion as complicated encounters with space, lived experience and embodiment. Drawing on Irit Rogoff’s (2003, 2006) notions of embodied criticality, and the pioneering work of performance studies scholar Petra Kuppers (2003, 2014), we argue for an embodied, embedded and creative form of critical disability studies – enacted through art. We examine two recent performance and installation works in hotels: Welcome Inn (2019) by British artist Christopher Samuel, and Intimate Space (2017) by Australian performance company Restless Dance Theatre."
• "Hickey Moody, Anna. 2009. Unimaginable Bodies: Intellectual Disability, Performance and Becomings. Rotterdam: Sense."
  Reads, in part "Unimaginable Bodies radically resituates academic discussions of intellectual disability. Through building relationships between philosophy, cultural studies and communities of integrated dance theatre practice, Anna Hickey-Moody argues that dance theatre devised with and performed by young people with and without intellectual disability, can reframe the ways in which bodies with intellectual disability are known."
• "Katie Ellis (2019) Disability and Digital Television Cultures Representation, Access, and Reception. London & New York: Routledge."
  Reads, in part "Disability and Digital Television Cultures offers an important addition to scholarly studies at the intersection of disability and media, examining disability in the context of digital television access, representation and reception."
• "Ted Evans, Michelle Bellon, Brian Matthews (2017). Leisure as a human right: An exploration of people with disabilities’ perceptions of leisure, arts and recreation participation through Australian community access services. Annals of Leisure Research, 20(3), 331–348."
  Reads, in part "Community Access Services (CAS) are defined as ‘Services designed to provide opportunities for people with disability to gain and use their abilities to enjoy their full potential for social independence’ [Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. 2015. Disability Services National Minimum Data Set Collection: Data Transmission and Technical Guide. Canberra: AIHW]. A notable absence of international research regarding leisure, arts and recreation through CAS exists. This study explores perceptions of people with disabilities on their participation in leisure, arts and recreation through Australian CAS."
• "Gerard Goggin, Christopher Newell (2003). Digital disability: The social construction of disability in new media. Rowman and Littlefield."
  Media representation of and for the disabled has been recharged in recent years with the expansion of new media worldwide. Interactive digital communications--such as the Interact, new varieties of voice and text telephones, and digital broadcasting--have created a need for a more innovative understanding of new media and disability issues. This engaging analysis offers a global perspective on how people with disabilities are represented as users, consumers, viewers, or listeners of new media, by policymakers, corporations, programmers, and the disabled themselves.
