      abstract = {This work takes the most recent, interdisciplinary  research and demonstrates how to make higher education  institutions open, accessible and socially just for staff  and students with disabilities. Combining the scholarly  fields of media platform management, information literacy,  internet studies, mobility studies and disability studies,  this book offers a guide and method to consider how  students and staff with differing needs move through  university processes, spaces and interfaces. It captures  the challenges and potentials of both the online and  offline university. The key concept of the book is  universal design. This term and theory is used to move  beyond the medical and social model of disability that  disconnect and separate the issues of disability and  impairment from core societal concerns. This book confirms  that most of us will be touched by impairment through our  lives. When matched with the necessity to retrain and gain  new skills for a post-recession future, there must be a  renewed commitment to not only the widening participation  agenda of higher education, but also the enabling of  universities for men and women with impairments.},
