Relatos de vida a través de narrativa transmedia (academia diversa): Inclusión de periodistas e investigadores con discapacidad en espacios formativos de educación superior

Abstract

This research and creative proposal created a transmedia narrative, entitled: Academia Diversa, in a sub-branch derived from this, known as transmedia journalism and documentary. As final products were developed: Four (4) audiovisual capsules, three (3) podcasts and an interactive image about life stories of two central actors: journalists with disabilities (Abaín, journalism school for people with disabilities) and researchers with disabilities (three researchers from different universities in the country); in the contexts of higher education and professionalization of people. These three productions are based on the need to create narratives aimed at people without disabilities in the research, academic and educational fields, where their ways of understanding disability are questioned, with the aim of making visible the ways of life and feelings of people with disabilities who are part of the professional and academic environments in everyday spaces and in the social organizations in which they coexist. Making visible, among many other factors, that the inclusion of journalists and researchers with disabilities occurs from two aspects, from sharing values and dialogue with others, and technologies and infrastructures that allow adequate access to education.
