Hi Michael --
It's good to see someone else interested in this topic - I've been trying
for over a year to find some research, any research that intersects
disabiltiy and epistemology. I haven't had any luck. There are two routs
I'm persuing now - 1) feminist understandings of social location as an
epistemic standpoint, and 2) phenomenology.
If any one out there has had any luck in this area, I'd be eager to get
that information!
Best,
lex
