Disability and Digital Technology: Accessible Design, Global Media Policy, and Human Rights

残疾是澳大利亚改革的一个主要领域，而数字技术是实现全面社会参与这一历史性目标的关键。该项目对我们如何为残疾人发明、设计、实施和监管技术进行了首次全面调查。它将提供关于残疾和技术的理论，以及包括移动设备、电子阅读器和医疗技术在内的案例研究。该项目将审查《联合国残疾人公约》中技术的人权方面及其与全球媒体政策的关系。该项目将提出更好的方法来协调人权框架、政策和技术设计，以确保澳大利亚残疾人的数字参与。

Disability is a major area of Australian reform, and digital technology is key to securing historic goals of full social participation. This project offers the first comprehensive investigation of how we invent, design, implement, and regulate technology for people with disabilities. It will provide a theory of disability and technology, with case studies including mobiles, e-readers, and health technologies. The project will examine human rights aspects of technology in the United Nations disability convention, and their relation to global media policy. The project will propose better ways to align human rights frameworks, policy, and technology design to ensure digital participation for Australians with disability.
