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…
Scroungers and Superhumans: Images of Disability from the Summer of 2012: A Visual Inquiry
Through the summer of 2012, two opposing sets of images dominated the British press. Welfare benefits reform met the Paralympics, the former casting disabled people as scroungers, the latter as superhumans. Seemingly independent yet intertwined, the images create a collective picture in the mind of what it is to be disabled. This collective imagining shapes and reinforces government policy on austerity cuts and benefits reform, with profound infl…
The Photograph
This is a narrative inquiry that explores the significance of a photograph that has exerted a hold over me for several years. A single glance, like running a finger along the amassed spines of well-loved novels, tumbles me instantly into memory. Yet, over time I have realized there is more than nostalgia to this photograph's hold. Like those novels, this photograph holds its own fiction, yet through that fiction it also carries profound truths ab…
Lying Down Anyhow: An Autoethnography
Where lying down is a simple physiological act, lying down among people is a far more complicated thing. When my own body requires me either to lie down in public places or absent myself from the social world, I face complicated questions about who I am and who I want to be in a world where I do not conform. Interweaving diaries and memory with conversation, observation, secondary research, and reflection, this autoethnographic text is a celebrat…
Comment from the Field: Resistance on the Plinth: The Why of It
I am sitting in the basket of a cherry picker, draped in an ancient white bedspread, being driven forward on a JCB. Through the thick fabric I see spots of bright light and the amber of the vehicle's warning strobe. We begin to rise and I am pitched into that moment when they close the plane door and there is no going back, only a hundred times magnified. So up we rise and rise, high above the plinth, before coming in to land. Freaky, freaky, say…
Helen Keller: Rethinking the problematic icon
More than 30 years after her death, Helen Keller is still known internationally as the little deaf blind girl, the 'miracle child' who triumphed over adversity. However, behind the image, hidden from the public gaze, was a flesh-and-blood woman, writer and radical activist, suffragette and Socialist. She was a woman who lived to old age, yet is fixed in the public imagination as an eternal child. This paper charts the creation of Keller's popular…
