Dear Collegues,
I'm hunting resources for a paper I'm working on. It's just in the
preliminary stage but any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm
living in the Czech Republic so online sources or easily obtainable
volumes would be best.
The premise is this:
While advocacy has led to beneficial change, this does not diminish
the importance of the question of whether advocacy is proper or
improper insofar as each act of advocacy is at each time, despite our
best efforts, an act of intrusion. What then does this mean for
advocacy, for the advocate, and for whichever group stands to benefit
from this well meaning intrusion?
Most of my thinking on this comes from my experience on policy writing
for an extended care facility as well as readings of Jean Luc Nancy,
Jacques Derrida, and Emmanuel Levinas. What I'm looking for now is,
specifically, approaches of this from whitin disability studies and
"advocacy ethics" if such a thing exists.
many thanks,
Ryan Parrey
