Hello, all,
I'm writing a paper describing an oral history project done with survivors
of an institution for individuals with developmental disabilities. Something
I want to discuss is the issue of voice - what is lost when 'one' speaks
for the 'other', and what some of the potentialities are for power
differentials to obscure/override presumably shared research goals. This is
particularly an issue when the enterprise of writing and researching is an
intellectual one, and when the individuals who are participants in the
research are intellectually disabled.
If anyone has any suggestions for readings that might deal specifically with
issues of standpoint and disability, I'd be appreciative.
Best,
