Women with Disabilities Victoria (WDV) is launching The Inclusive Lens, a new six-part podcast series exploring how women and gender diverse people with disabilities are represented across Australian media, and the impact these portrayals have on everyday life.
Created by members of WDV's Youth Experts by Experience Group, the series investigates the intersection of disability, gender, sexism and ableism through conversations with media professionals and advocates.
Across six episodes, the Youth Experts explore
- Advertising and Marketing
- Books
- News and Journalism
- Social Media
- TV and Film
- Video Games
Through discussions with guests from each industry, the series asks what meaningful representation looks like and how media organisations can better reflect the diversity of the communities they serve.
The project aims to encourage media professionals, content creators and audiences to reflect on how stories are told and whose perspectives are included.
Join WDV's Youth Experts team for the launch of the Podcast series. Hear about why the Group decided to create the series, and their experience in doing so.
This event is Free to attend.
Zoom details will be shared with registrants closer to the time.
Please note, The Inclusive Lens Podcast Launch will be recorded.
