Disability and gender in the Australian Twittersphere on disability leadership
The Australian of the Year award is made to citizens who are recognised as inspiring individuals and leaders at community, State or Territory and national levels. As such, recipients receive significant media attention and public sharing of opinions and resources connected to the recipients and their activities as award incumbents.
Working with Digital Observatory data from the Australian Twittersphere project (https://www.digitalobservatory.net.au/), this study explores social responses to the recipient of the ‘Australian of the Year’ award over a five year period to analyse the social construction of leadership through a disability and gender intersectional lens.
