Dear list members
The International Journal of Inclusive Education has kindly just published one of my contributions:
National and international disability rights legislation: A qualitative account
of its enactment in Australia
In this paper, a detailed analysis based on the lived experiences of the study participants and the researcher (each with vision impairment) in education, post school and in the pursuit for employment is developed. The policy discourses of disability legislation – both at national and international levels – are explored with particular reference to their enactment in Australia. The analysis focuses on the collective indifference to detached others, which is evident in the linguistic construction of people with disabilities in the United Nations (2006) Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and the Australian Standards for Education 2005 [Australian Department of Education, Science and Training, 2006). Together, these elements reflect the neoliberal principles that cast a shadow over the discourses of the disability policies.
