”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."
