Canadian media representations of para-athletes at the 2016 Paralympic Games / Erin Pearson, Laura Misener

The purpose of this study was to examine a specific example of the Canadian media coverage of the 2016 Paralympic Games to consider how the approach challenged and reinforced dominant discourses, and the interplay between impairment, ableism and gender within Canadian society.
