Dear List (with apologies for crosspostings), I just collected a set of research proposals from undergraduates. Three of them seem intriguing to me, but I don’t know where to point the students for publications on the topics. I’m interested in DS perspective material, of course, not medical treatises. The three are: 1) Fatigue or fatiguability as impairment. Susan Wendell’s Rejected Body is one good source. Are there others? 2) The relations between nondisabled parents and disabled children. I’m reluctant to simply turn the poor fellow loose on all of the parent-written material about disabled kids. Does anyone know of anything interesting written about the relationship? (We’ve read Jim Sinclair’s “Don’t Mourn” which brought up the subject.) 3) A diagnosis of terminal illness. Any sophisticated discussions that show the similarities between the stigmas of disability and those that are experienced by a terminal diagnosee? (We’ve discussed the death/disability alignment in general, but not the specific social situation of someone who has a terminal diagnosis. And frankly, I realized that my own discussion of the death/disability alignment tended to further stigmatize terminal diagnosees.) Thanks for any help.
