The effect of anti-discrimination legislation on individuals with disabilities in Nordic countries
Nordic countries are renowned for progressive welfare systems and a high quality of life, yet disparities persist between individuals with and without disabilities. This study investigates whether anti-discrimination legislation in these nations enhances socioeconomic outcomes for individuals with disabilities, focusing on subjective well-being, self-rated health, institutional trust, political engagement, labour market participation, and materia…
A Register-Based Study of Early-Life Disabilities and Income Attainment in Adulthood
Individuals with disabilities are likely to be doubly disadvantaged, as they tend to earn less but require more financial resources than individuals without disabilities to maintain an average standard of life. Exploring the links between early-life disabilities and income attainment in adulthood requires high-quality data that allow accounting for selection into disability as well as a comprehensive list of predictors of income attainment. The a…
The effect of legislation on perceived disability discrimination
Equalizing opportunities and outcomes between individuals with and without disabilities is a stated goal for most governments in Western welfare democracies. Yet, significant disability-based inequalities remain in many domains of life. One of the causes of this gap is the widespread discrimination of individuals with disabilities. Over the last two decades, most European countries have introduced anti-discrimination legislation to reduce disabil…
Early-life impairments, chronic health conditions, and income mobility
Individuals who have congenital conditions or become disabled early in life tend to have poorer educational and occupational outcomes than non-disabled individuals. Disability is known to be a complex entity with multiple causations, involving, inter alia, physiological, social, economic, and cultural factors. It is established that social factors can influence educational and occupational attainment for disabled people, and current disability po…
The double bind of social legitimacy
During the last few decades, the human rights paradigm has shifted the normative status of disabled people, providing, in principle, the right to full and equal participation. Particularly in neoliberal economies, however, participation in work life is a major constraint on social legitimacy, creating a predicament for people who cannot adhere to the ideal of the 'productive member of society'. In this article, I explore this predicament at the i…

Å skrive en bok som ligner verden
Skjønnlitterære bøker og sakprosabøker har i alle fall det til felles at de alle er ruiner av perfekte ideer. Men hva er det ellers som skiller og forener dem
The CRPD and the economic model of disability
Human rights have become the dominant framework for understanding and resolving the marginalization of disabled people. Particularly since the 2007 introduction of the CRPD, many countries have formally adopted policies of ensuring equality by way of this framework. Nevertheless, socio-economic and political equality remain elusive. This article argues that part of the problem is the degree to which the human rights framework, through the princip…
No evidence that social-democratic welfare states equalize valued outcomes for individuals with disabilities
It is acknowledged that generous welfare states can provide better outcomes to their populations in terms of objective and subjective indicators of well-being, yet there is little comparative evidence of the role that the welfare state regime plays in lessening disability-based inequalities. Using a large comparative data set of most European societies, Tukey's honestly significant difference and generalized Hausman tests for six welfare state re…
The Death of Others. On the Narrative Rhetoric of Neoliberal Thanatopolitics
Euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide (PAS) are deeply controversial topics both within and beyond disability studies, involving issues of structural ableism, discrimination, and the right to self-determination. A common defence of the legalization of PAS, as distinct from euthanasia, rests on the right of an individual to freely choose when to end one's life. This essay makes an intervention in this debate by examining the rhetoric of media …

Material Bodies, Bodies of Narrative
What value do we accord disabled lives? The question was forced, not for the first time, early on in the pandemic. As Lennard Davis put it, “A wartime gut reaction as well as a combination of health ethics templates and cost-benefit analyses assessing whose life is worth saving and whose is less so” created a “eugenics sinkhole” in which disabled people, in particular, were likely to get trapped, their lives defined as deficient, as less-than.1Th…
Ablenationalists Assemble
Superheroes are often disabled, either literally or metaphorically. Their exceptional powers and abilities may be balanced by weakness in order to engender audience sympathy or identification, or to provide a source of narrative obstacles. Although superhero stories are not necessarily about disability, they have become one of the most accessible and popular formats in which disability is a consistently salient trope and integral part of the narr…
Hva vi snakker om når vi snakker om digitaliseringens politikk
GRUE: Vi går rett på tematikken: «Digitalisering» har vært et sentralt begrep i norsk samfunnsdebatt i mange år, men det er et begrep som er så hyppig brukt at det kan virke ugjennomsiktig. Å «digitalisere» kan i hverdagsspråket bety noe så enkelt som å skanne et dokument, men det brukes også om gjennomgripende strukturelle og institusjonelle endringer. Hva er det vi snakker om når vi snakker om digitaliseringsprosesser på samfunnsnivå

Rethinking long-term condition management
To understand the complexities of managing long-term conditions and develop appropriate responses, micro-, meso- and macrolevels must be considered. However, these levels have not been combined in a single analytical framework of long-term condition management (LTCM). This article aims to describe a framework of LTCM practice and research that combines societal levels and key agents. The actor-level framework, based on the works of Abram De Swaan…
On the Transhumanist Imaginary and the Biopolitics of Contingent Embodiment
Transhumanism longs not only for the enhancement of human capabilities but also for the end of suffering; that longing conflates the destiny of the individual with that of the human species. This essay examines the ideals that are most central to the transhumanist imaginary, showing that they are less exotic than is suggested by their aura of futurity, and that their implications for the present are largely thanatopolitical in nature. Examining D…
Inclusive Marginalisation? A Critical Analysis of the Concept of Disability, Its Framings and Their Implications in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
While eschewing an explicit definition, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) understands ‘disability’ primarily as the result of interactions between individually situated impairments and societally created barriers. This article draws on work in interdisciplinary disability studies to argue that the way ‘impairments’ and ‘barriers’ are framed in the Convention raises fundamental questions about (a) the …

The social meaning of disability
As disability becomes an ever more salient concept in international political and legal discourse, its social meaning must be better understood. Traditionally defined in medical terms and as an individual problem, it has for the last several decades increasingly become a socio-politically defined phenomenon. Disability pride has emerged as a social movement patterned after ethnic minority and sexual orientation movements. The one billion people w…
The problem with inspiration porn
The term ‘inspiration porn’ is associated with disability advocacy in general and the late activist and comedian Stella Young in particular. It has come into widespread usage over the last few years. I propose the following definition: ‘Inspiration porn is the representation of disability as a desirable but undesired characteristic, usually by showing impairment as a visually or symbolically distinct biophysical deficit in one person, a deficit t…
Discourse analysis and disability
Disability is an underexplored topic in discourse analysis. A stronger emphasis on disability issues would be in keeping with the academic principles and political priorities of critical discourse analysis. Simultaneously, a discourse analysis perspective is needed in disability studies. Although that field has produced a considerable amount of discourse-oriented research, it is structured around theoretical models that appear adversarial and inc…
Critical discourse analysis, topoi and mystification
In disability studies, social and medical explanatory models are seen as being conflicting or mutually exclusive, and as mystifying respectively bodily impairment and the agency of social and environmental factors. This article uses critical discourse analysis (CDA) to discuss the relationship between such models in policy documents produced by The Norwegian Federation of Organizations of Disabled People (FFO). Analysis of key topoi in the policy…

Illness Is Work
The concept of careers has an extensive history in the sociology of health and illness. Among other things, the notion of a career has been used to describe the changing identities of patients diagnosed with mental illness, to identify distinct stages in the progression of various illnesses, and to recognize the cooperative efforts of hospitalized patients. However, the career concept may be reanalyzed as part of an analytical metaphor that makes…

Is there something wrong with society, or is it just me? Social and medical knowledge in a Norwegian anti-discrimination law
What is the current relationship between the social and medical definitions of disability in Norway? The Norwegian Discrimination and Accessibility Act, which entered into effect on 1 January 2009, frames its overarching goals in terms of human rights and equal opportunity and studiously avoids the use of medico-diagnostic language. Most of the specific provisions of the law are, however, justified as means of compensation for inherent or pre-exi…

A Garden of Forking Paths
‘Chronic fatigue syndrome’ (CFS) and ‘myalgic encephalomyelitis’ (ME) are diagnostic labels that are at the center of ongoing conflicts in the field of health and illness, between doctors, patients, activists, and other interest groups. ‘CFS’ and ‘ME’ have different historical trajectories and are associated with different diagnostic criteria. In many cases, however, they are used interchangeably or synonymously with the umbrella term ‘ME/CFS’. T…
Technically disabled, ill for all practical purposes? Myalgic encephalopathy/chronic fatigue syndrome discourse in Norway
After decades of activism, theorization, and model building, disability remains an undesirable marker of individual identity. Under-reporting of disability on a global scale is at least partly attributable to the stigma attached to disabled identity. Another cause, however, may be the lack of fit between the concept and discourse of disability as they evolve in a political, legislative, and organizational context, and the discourse in which every…
Rhetorics of difference
In recent years, the philosopher Julia Kristeva has entered the field of disability, both in her academic capacity and as an adviser to the French government on policy and legislative issues. This is not only an indication of Kristeva's evolving research interests, but also a symptom of disability's increasingly prominent status as a topic of interdisciplinary inquiry. This article undertakes an examination of Kristeva's approach to disability, a…
