Please consider submitting a paper proposal for the ASA 2019 panel:
Inaccessible Access: confronting barriers to epistemic inclusion for people with disabilities in the academy and beyond,
organised by Kelly Fagan Robinson (UCL), Theresia Hofer (Bristol/Oxford) & Mark Carew (The Leonard Cheshire Research Centre, UCL)
Short abstract:
Panel addressing social, material, spatial, communicative & epistemological barriers for people with disabilities in and out of academia. Focuses on critiquing existing barriers, understanding the diversity of lived experiences of people with disabilities, and highlighting the value of heterogeneous disability-centric knowledge production.
Long Abstract:
This panel will address the social, material, spatial, communicative, and epistemological barriers that people with disabilities still frequently confront, both inside and outside of the academy. Given the current international focus on global sustainable development, including via the Global Challenges research funding schemes, we seek to foreground the work that has yet to be done on non-normative ways of being in and knowing the 'world', particularly if/when disabled-centred epistemologies are side-lined even within equality and alterity discourses.
Conceptual understanding is often dictated by pre-existing communication norms and standardised processes of knowledge-making, both reliant on and bound within institutional and procedural precedents. We seek to raise productive lines of flight and critiques that will lead to greater innovation and transformation of inclusive social and knowledge-making practices. We welcome ethnographic and/or theoretical papers on enacted inclusion; epistemic injustice; language regimes and translation, broadly conceived; practical/logistical/financial access (to interpreters, note-takers, technology, inclusive architecture or environments); grassroots movements; or any other proposal focused on the broad diversity of the lived experiences of people with disabilities and the value of heterogeneous disability-centric knowledge production. We particularly encourage paper submissions relating to the Global South and by researchers with disabilities.
Per the ASA19 instructions, papers must be submitted via the conference portal: https://nomadit.co.uk/conference/asa2019/p/8006
The Call for Papers is now open and closes at 23:59 GMT+1/BST on 8 April.
