Mission Statement
Promote
academic research into
disability issues and mass media. This can include issues related to
portrayals,
hiring practices, technology, civil rights, etc.
To reach
out to the disability
community at each AEJMC annual meeting location. We want the local
disability
community to be aware of AEJMC, and we want AEJMC members to be aware
of
local disability resources.
Promote
architectural, communication,
and attitudinal accessibility for people with disabilities at AEJMC
annual
meetings and all AEJMC activities.
Promote
equal treatment and
the necessary accommodation for students and professors with
disabilities
in university settings as outlined in the 1990 Americans with
Disabilities
Act. Appropriate accommodation can mean an enhanced learning
environment
for both students and faculty.
