Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Nordic Network on Disability Research
This article commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Nordic Network on Disability Research (NNDR) in 2027 by examining its historical development, intellectual foundations and contemporary significance. Drawing on reflections from former and current presidents, it traces NNDR’s origins in the early 1990s and its transformation from a network centred on intellectual disability to a multidisciplinary and internationally engaged platform for disabi…
Where Can I Sign My Language
This article presents the results from a systematic literature review of Nordic research studies from 2000 to 2019, addressing the question of children and adolescents' access to spaces where they can sign with peers and adults. The study is based on a dialogistic approach to language, and holds that languaging is inextricably tied to places and situations—that is, spaces and contexts in which people participate in interactions with others. Thus,…
Inclusion in Norwegian Higher Education
Nordic research concerning disabled higher education students has suggested that inclusion often simply means placement among non-disabled peers. Individual disabled students are the ones who must bridge the gap between which accommodations are offered and what their felt needs are. The study presented in this article is based on semi-structured qualitative interviews with five deaf Norwegian master’s degree students. Teachers’ knowledge regardin…
Gatekeeping in professional higher education in Norway
Despite legislative regulations, many students with disabilities face barriers to their participation in higher education. In professional education, the requirements for placement practice add to the barriers for both students who need to disclose their impairments and request special arrangements, and staff who need to make the arrangements to accommodate to the students’ special needs. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the persp…
Disability and justice
This special issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research addresses justice and the rule of law with regard to the situation for persons with disabilities. The intersection between these two thematic fields has been made topical in the Nordic countries in the implementation process for the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, as well as the aftermath of two well-documented examples of serious miscarriages of justi…
Sign language, translation and rule of law – deaf people's experiences from encounters with the Norwegian criminal justice system
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was ratified in Norway, June 2013. Nordic countries are generally associated with the promotion of human rights as well as disability rights. The Rule of Law Index from the World Justice Project ranks the Nordic countries among the top nations when it comes to high standards of justice (both civil and criminal justice) and rule of law. However, there are also well-known examples of grav…

Å vokse opp med cochleaimplantat
Hearing’ or ‘Deaf’? Discussing epistemological and methodological issues related to the bioethical discourse on paediatric cochlear implantation
Perhaps the most dominating question in the bioethical discourse on paediatric cochlear implantation is that of whether or not a prelingual deaf child should undergo surgery. This paper argues that other, possibly more important questions can be posed if the bioethical discourse is based on a better empirical understanding of what cochlear implantation might mean for a prelingual deaf child. Many contributors for and against paediatric cochlear i…
Deaf or deaf? Questioning alleged antinomies in the bioethical discourses on cochlear implantation and suggesting an alternative approach to d/Deafness
The assumption that there exist two mutually exclusive conceptions of d/Deafness – a medical/biological as opposed to a socially constructed one – is an underlying premise for much of the ongoing bioethical discourse on paediatric cochlear implantation. This text first presents this discourse and then analyses the alleged antinomy. Using the original Kantian conception of antinomies, it is argued that trying to judge which is more ‘true’, nature …
