A Case of Epistemic Injustice: Prioritising Disability Knowledges in Climate Adaptation
Climate change poses major risks to life and livelihoods worldwide, acting as a threat multiplier through compounding and creating new forms of social inequality. Disabled people—including an estimated 16% of the global population—are disproportionately impacted by these risks, in part through the impacts of different impairments and the association with wider disadvantage, and also through eco‐ableism; the failure to consider disabled people's n…

Beyond the Single Story of Climate Vulnerability: Centring Disabled People and Their Knowledges in “Care-Full” Climate Action
Health. Disability. Vulnerability. These words are often used when discussing the risks of climate disruption. These discussions warn of the potential for climate impacts to “undermine 50 years of gains in public health” (as stated by the Lancet Countdown on Climate Change). Increasingly, such discussions also acknowledge climate injustice, examining who will benefit or lose out from climate change, how and why. The embodied vulnerability of disa…
The regressive power of labels of vulnerability affecting disabled asylum seekers in the UK
There has been some progress in the United Kingdom regarding official recognition of the existence and needs of disabled asylum seekers and refugees. However, references are commonly accompanied by euphemistic labels, particularly of ‘vulnerability’. This should be understood in the context of systematic reduction of services and support available to the wider population of asylum seekers and disabled people in the United Kingdom. I argue that th…
The deprivation experienced by disabled asylum seekers in the United Kingdom: Symptoms, causes, and possible solutions
Disabled asylum seekers have been found to often experience extreme deprivation. Possible causes and solutions are explored, drawing on the experiences of disabled asylum seekers themselves as well as on a series of interviews with people working in the asylum and immigration sector. It is suggested that action is required to reduce immediate suffering, but that systemic change is needed to address the causes of this deprivation
The Presumptions of Resulting Trust and Advancement in Singapore: Unfairness to The Woman
The article examines the resurgence of the modified twin presumptions of resulting trust and advancement in family cases in Singapore, comparing the Singapore position with the current UK law as elucidated in Stack v Dowden. It analyses the impact that the heavily fact–based inquiry enjoined by the Singapore Court of Appeal has on the woman in the relationship. The operation of the presumption of resulting trust gives rise to a real possibility o…
