00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,393
Hola, soy Beth Haller.

2
00:00:02,393 --> 00:00:08,413
Enseño Comunicación de Masas 
en la Universidad de Towsen, Maryland.

3
00:00:08,413 --> 00:00:12,872
Allí y en otros campus, también
enseño Estudios de Discapacidad.

4
00:00:14,344 --> 00:00:18,643
En la Universidad de la Ciudad,
Nueva York, enseño los estudios de ellos.

5
00:00:18,643 --> 00:00:23,049
Enseño en la Universidad York,
Toronto, sus programas.

6
00:00:23,049 --> 00:00:26,990
En Texas, Arlington enseño
los estudios de la universidad.

7
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:32,698
Así que investigo 
desde comienzos de los 90

8
00:00:32,698 --> 00:00:35,579
la representación de las personas
con discapacidad en los medios.

9
00:00:36,247 --> 00:00:39,178
Tengo una relación única con el ADA

10
00:00:39,178 --> 00:00:44,070
porque hice mi tesis sobre cómo
lo cubrieron los medios.

11
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:48,464
Antes de ir a la U. de Temple, Filadelfia,
para obtener mi doctorado,

12
00:00:48,464 --> 00:00:52,963
estaba en la U. de Maryland College Park
para obtener mi máster

13
00:00:55,266 --> 00:00:57,762
y empecé en 1989,

14
00:00:57,762 --> 00:01:01,182
y hay una razón para todos estos
números (risas) estas fechas,

15
00:01:01,182 --> 00:01:05,527
y en 1988, cuando tuvo lugar el movimiento
Deaf President Now algo pasó

16
00:01:05,527 --> 00:01:10,648
en la U. de Gallaudet en DC, 
y pienso. en algún lugar de mi mente

17
00:01:10,648 --> 00:01:17,289
Sabía qué pasaba ya que era periodista 
antes de convertirme en académico.

18
00:01:17,289 --> 00:01:24,733
Cuando empecé en College Park en 1989
termine haciendo un artículo para la clase

19
00:01:24,733 --> 00:01:29,529
sobre un estudiante sordo en Gallaudet 
y me interesé mucho en la comunidad sorda.

20
00:01:29,529 --> 00:01:31,760
hay una gran comunidad sorda
en el área del DC.

21
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,009
Terminé haciendo mi tesis de maestría 
sobre la representación de esa comunidad

22
00:01:36,009 --> 00:01:38,832
antes, durante y después
del Deaf President Now

23
00:01:38,832 --> 00:01:41,907
en el New York Times 
y el Washington Post

24
00:01:41,907 --> 00:01:44,621
y ese fue un punto de partida.

25
00:01:44,621 --> 00:01:50,551
Me fui de College Park en 1991. 
y el ADA acababa de ser aprobado

26
00:01:50,551 --> 00:01:54,002
y cuando llegué a Temple 
para empezar a trabajar en mi doctorado,

27
00:01:54,002 --> 00:01:57,167
Sabía que quería seguir trabajando 
en. el área de la discapacidad

28
00:01:57,167 --> 00:02:00,720
y teníamos esta ley sobre los derechos
en discapacidad recién aprobada.

29
00:02:01,930 --> 00:02:05,766
Lo recuerdo más como un foco 
de mi investigación

30
00:02:05,766 --> 00:02:11,423
porque no recuerdo haber visto
la cobertura el día que sucedió en 1990,

31
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:16,773
pero recuerdo haber visto todas las coberturas
porque era el tema

32
00:02:16,773 --> 00:02:18,663
de mi tesis.

33
00:02:19,463 --> 00:02:23,705
Así que fue muy interesante mirarlas
como académica

34
00:02:23,705 --> 00:02:28,530
y verlo suceder y luego no (risas)

35
00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:30,463
a medida que pasaba el tiempo.

36
00:02:30,464 --> 00:02:33,239
Así que mi tesis se basó
en cómo los medios masivos

37
00:02:36,014 --> 00:02:40,762
todas las revistas de noticias
y los principales periódicos lo vieron.

38
00:02:41,792 --> 00:02:45,607
Así que terminé mi tesis en el 94
y me gradué en el 95,

39
00:02:45,607 --> 00:02:53,294
eran los primeros tiempos del ADA
y todavía no se implementaba

40
00:02:53,294 --> 00:02:57,769
porque otorgaron varios años
para su cumplimiento,

41
00:02:57,769 --> 00:03:04,221
pero como los años pasaban
era interesante ver cómo las cosas

42
00:03:04,221 --> 00:03:06,389
no estaban pasando.

43
00:03:06,389 --> 00:03:09,005
Y lo que todos pensábamos 
que iba a pasar era:

44
00:03:09,005 --> 00:03:12,420
que el Congreso iba a pasar
esta ley de derechos para discapacidad

45
00:03:12,420 --> 00:03:16,351
y la gente la seguiría 
porque ahora era una ley federal

46
00:03:16,351 --> 00:03:18,833
no discriminar por discapacidad,

47
00:03:18,833 --> 00:03:21,979
pero eso no es lo que pasó (risas).

48
00:03:21,979 --> 00:03:29,607
Y desde el punto de vista de los medios
esto hizo daño al ADA porque...

49
00:03:29,607 --> 00:03:33,744
e incluso tuve esta conversación 
con académicos de Estudios en Discapacidad

50
00:03:33,744 --> 00:03:37,525
activistas de derechos de la discapacidad, 
porque creo que pensaron

51
00:03:37,525 --> 00:03:41,134
de la misma manera: 
que ahora es ley y todo estará bien,

52
00:03:41,134 --> 00:03:48,242
y los medios tenían en su historial
una cobertura tan mala

53
00:03:48,246 --> 00:03:54,176
que los activistas pensaron 
que podrían evitarlo y todo estaría bien,

54
00:03:54,176 --> 00:03:56,410
y que no necesitaban los medios para nada.

55
00:03:57,150 --> 00:04:01,212
Aquí aparezco yo y voy a las reuniones
de la Sociedad de Estudios de Discapacidad

56
00:04:01,212 --> 00:04:06,553
a principios de los 90,
comienzo a presentar mi tesis

57
00:04:06,553 --> 00:04:10,330
e incluso la comunidad de la discapacidad en aquellos. primeros años justo después de la ADA

58
00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:14,487


59
00:04:14,487 --> 00:04:16,853


60
00:04:16,853 --> 00:04:21,244


61
00:04:21,244 --> 00:04:26,255


62
00:04:26,255 --> 00:04:30,885


63
00:04:30,885 --> 00:04:34,858


64
00:04:34,858 --> 00:04:40,890


65
00:04:40,890 --> 00:04:44,310
