Extra
From Syntolkning: Forskning och praktik (2016) (Audio description: research and practices) published in co-operation between Lund University, Stockholm University and the Swedish Agency for Accessible Media (MTM) (In Swedish).
Included in this publication are contributions from researchers, educators, persons with visual impairment and blindness, practitioners of AD and government representatives who write about audio description from their various perspectives. The book is the first of its kind in Sweden and Scandinavia and the aim is to inspire research, debate and development of audio description. The book addresses scientists, practitioners of AD, teachers and users of AD, but also event organizers, government agencies and NGOs, as well as to anyone interested in issues of accessibility.
