Disability and employment in China: A Guangzhou case study
This study explored perceptions of disability and attitudes towards employment within the context of the ableist construction of disability in China. Interviews were conducted with thirteen young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and thirteen of their parents in Guangzhou, China. Thematic analysis of the interviews reveals that while most young participants either deny their disability identity or struggle with it, some have…
Covid-19 Post-lockdown: Perspectives, implications and strategies for disabled staff
The National Association of Disabled Staff Networks (NADSN) is a super-network that connects and represents disabled staff networks at organisations across the United Kingdom. NADSN has been very concerned about the development of national policy up to this time and for moving out of the COVID-19 lockdown stage as national policy has been silent in relation to disabled staff apart from in presenting a narrow, medicalised view. We have structured …
Deficit discourse – the ‘regime of truth’ preceding the Cape York Welfare Reform
The Cape York Welfare Reform (CYWR) income management regime commenced in 2008. While this regime was supported and funded by the Queensland and federal governments, it was essentially developed by the Cape York Institute for Policy and Leadership (CYI), which was known as an Aboriginal policy development think tank. Income management in Cape York involves quarantining between 60% and 90% of a person's social security payment, if the person is de…
Precision ableism: A studies in ableism approach to developing histories of disability and abledment
This paper discusses the historical project and idea of comparison, then moves on to a discussion of the role of thinking theoretically in terms of process and not object relations, a shift from a focus on binaries to aporias. The paper outlines the development of Studies in Ableism as well as presuppositional foundations of systems of ableism, and the delimitation of abledment and disablement. Finally, the paper contributes to thinking about the…
Stalking Ableism: Using Disability to Expose ‘Abled’ Narcissism
One may wonder what museums and classification systems have in common. They share a feature of working with the systematisation and reification of relics and objects. For too long there has been an almost indecent preoccupation with measuring and quantifying the existence of disabled people with the grand and commendable objective to know ‘us’ more. Despite these obsessions with disability, the sociocultural relations of impairment and disabled p…
Oral versus written assessments: A test of student performance and attitudes
Student performance in and attitudes towards oral and written assessments were compared using quantitative and qualitative methods. Two separate cohorts of students were examined. The first larger cohort of students (n = 99) was randomly divided into ‘oral’ and ‘written’ groups, and the marks that they achieved in the same biology questions were compared. Students in the second smaller cohort (n = 29) were all examined using both written and oral…
Geodisability Knowledge Production and International Norms: A Sri Lankan case study
Disability is a representational system and its denotation is a result of how communities make sense of and mark corporeal differences. In this paper I argue that the UN norm standard setting, a form of geodisability knowledge, determines the kinds of bodies known as disabled and acts as a technology of disability governmentality. The institutional strategic gaze, sited in the UN, examines, normalises and conditions nation-states. Without consens…

Having a career in disability studies without even becoming disabled! The strains of the disabled teaching body
Does it matter who teaches disability studies, whether that teacher has a disability or not? Maybe this might strike the reader as a peculiar question – to focus on the teacher’s body or knowledge standpoint. There are certain theoretical and ontological implications in asking such questions. This article is an attempt to theorise about the way the bodies of teachers with disabilities are transmuted within the arena of teaching critical disabilit…
Exploring internalized ableism using critical race theory
This paper is an attempt to theorize about the way disabled people live with ableism, in particular internalized ableism. Typically literature within disability studies has concentrated on the practices and production of disablism, examining attitudes and barriers that contribute to the subordination of people with disabilities in society. My exploration occurs through examining the insights of critical race theory (CRT) and the contribution that…
Refusing Able(ness): A Preliminary Conversation about Ableism
Feminist Rosemary Tong long ago alluded to the profound possibilities of using critical disability studies theory to recomprehend and respatialize the landscape of thinking about race and gender as sites of signification. This piece presents a preliminary conversation in the emergent field of studies in ableism and desires to not only problematize but refuse the notion of able(ness). Our attention is on Ableism's production and performance. Such …
Long Reigneth the Otterly Test: Genealogy and Sri Lankan Burghers in a 'Postcolonial' World
The advent of various investures of colonialism, although initially resulting in the societal disorientation of Sri Lankans through the reconstituting and defamiliarisation of space, over time was transformed as indigenous subjects were recruited as new social and spatial structures. Recently the containment of a Sri Lankan ethnic identity known as ‘Burghers’ has begun to unravel, firstly with the establishment of a rival organisation to the Dutc…
