Rethinking Disability Representation in Museums and Galleries

Rethinking Disability Representation in Museums and Galleries emerged from an action research project which addressed the absence and misrepresentation of disabled people in museums’ public programmes. A portfolio of evidence is submitted for this output comprising a research report, supporting analyses of data and context, and a film (DVD). The project brought together researchers, practitioners and disability activists to explore experimental approaches to disability representation resulting in 1 film, 7 exhibitions and 1 education programme for secondary schools in 9 UK museums. Dodd led (80%) on the vision and shaping of the project (from which the report, papers and film were produced).
