Workshop: Zine-Making as a Tool for Disability Advocacy and Research Dissemination
Workshop: Zine-Making as a Tool for Disability Advocacy and Research Dissemination
Zines – small, self-published works combining original and repurposed texts, images, and more – have long served as a creative medium for sharing ideas that don’t fit within conventional publishing outlets. This relaxed and interactive session introduces the history and value of zines and invites you to explore zine-making as a way to reflect on disability advocacy and as a tool for in both research methods and dissemination.
Aims:
To introduce participants to the history and significance of zines in alternative and academic spaces.
To provide an opportunity to explore how zines can be used both in the research process and as a tool for advocacy.
Objectives:
Offer a brief overview of the role and history of zines in activist, and academic movements.
Explore how zines can be used as a tool for advocacy and for sharing marginalised perspectives.
Engage participants in the hands-on creation of their own zine, focusing on access in academia or on research dissemination.
