  • Citizenship, Self-Determination and Political Action: the Forging of a Political Movement
    Citizenship, self-determination and political action: the forging of a political movement Jenny Morris (Talk at Conference in Sydney, Australia on Citizenship and Disability: February 1998) I want to talk about all the three things mentioned in the title of this Conference - citizenship, self-determination and political action. In order to talk about citizenship, I have to explain why I use the term 'disabled people' rather than 'people with disabilities'. The British disabled people's movement has campaigned for people to adopt a social model, rather than a medical model, of disability. The social model of disability says that: • the quality of our lives, our life chances, are not inevitably determined by what our bodies can't do or look like or how our minds function. Like the women's movement, we say - biology is not destiny. If I could not get a job that would be because of discrimination, not because I can't walk or because I'm a woman • we therefore need to separate out 'impairment' - the characteristics of our bodies and minds - from the way other people and society generally react to impairment • prejudice, discrimination, services which disempower and segregate us, a failure to use resources to create accessible environments and technology to aid communication - these are the disabling barriers that we experience • people with physical, sensory, intellectual impairments, people with mental health difficulties are therefore disabled by the society in 1 which we live • and we use the term 'disabled people' to describe what is done to us This language politicises our experiences and it takes the focus away from our impairments being the problem and puts the responsibility onto the society in which we live This is why we don't use the term disability to mean impairment.

Langan Professor Melinda Y. Chen Spring 2015 The Disability Drive © Anna Mollow, 2015. 1 Abstract The Disability Drive by Anna Mollow Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California Berkeley Professor Kent Puckett, Chair This dissertation argues that the psychic force that Freud named “the death drive” would more precisely be termed “the disability drive.” Freud‟s concept of the death drive emerged from his efforts to account for feelings, desires, and actions that seemed not to accord with rational self- interest or the desire for pleasure. Positing that human subjectivity was intrinsically divided against itself, Freud suggested that the ego‟s instincts for pleasure and survival were undermined by a competing component of mental life, which he called the death drive. But the death drive does not primarily refer to biological death, and the term has consequently provoked confusion. By distancing Freud‟s theory from physical death and highlighting its imbrication with disability, I revise this important psychoanalytic concept and reveal its utility to disability studies. While Freud envisaged a human subject that is drawn, despite itself, toward something like death, I propose that this “something” can productively be understood as disability.

A CRITICAL EXPLORATION OF IMPAIRMENT, IDENTITY, MEDIA AND EVERYDAY EXPERIENCE IN A DISABLING SOCIETY COLIN CAMERON A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy QUEEN MARGARET UNIVERSITY 2010 Abstract I offer a critical exploration of tensions experienced by disabled people in the construction of positive identities in everyday contexts in which self-understanding is shaped both by social structural relations of inequality and unique individual experience. The empirical evidence I use to develop and support my thesis involves data I have generated using a variety of data collection tools, through a series of interviews, conversations and observations carried out with sixteen disabled people across Scotland and England. I argue that while certain barriers to participation in ordinary community life may be being removed, perceptions of impairment as something „wrong‟ with the bodies of disabled people remain embedded in dominant disability discourse.

  • Did a Summer Camp Help Spark a Disability Revolution? Transcript
    THE LAURA FLANDERS SHOW DID A SUMMER CAMP HELP SPARK A DISABILITY REVOLUTION? LAURA FLANDERS: What can a small pocket of inclusive culture make possible for people who are normally marginalized or excluded from mainstream society? Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution is a Peabody award-winning documentary from Netflix and Higher Ground Productions that tells the story of Camp Jened, a summer camp in Upstate New York in the 1960s where disabled young people could be themselves. The film follows former campers into their adulthoods as activists whose work during the '70s and '80s helped secure federal civil rights for disabled people and eventually led to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. But the story doesn't end there, the disability rights movement, like so many movements in American history, prioritized at first the leadership visibility and needs mostly of white straight cis-gender disabled people. Recognizing this, the directors and producers of Crip Camp are using their film's release to educate audiences about the next step in the revolution, disability justice. That movement centers the leadership of disabled queer, trans, Black, Indigenous and people of color. If the inclusive culture of Camp Jened could help transform American society in the second half of the 20th century they ask, what could a truly intersectional disability justice movement change for everyone today? Joining me are co-producers and co-directors of Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution, Jim LeBrecht and Nicole Newnham. And Andraéa LaVant, she's chief inclusion officer of LaVant Consulting, Inc. I'd like to begin first with congratulating you all for the Peabody award, which was announced this June.

  • Crip Camp Educator Discussion Guide
    Educator Discussion Guide Welcome Welcome to the CRIP CAMP Educator Discussion Guide! Whether you are a teacher working in a virtual or in-person classroom setting, a facilitator leading education efforts in a community setting, or a mentor in your religious or spiritual community, this guide provides a framework for fostering discussion, critical thinking, and action after viewing CRIP CAMP. Even though we are everywhere, disabled people, disability culture, politics, and activism continue to be silenced and hidden by the mainstream, non-disabled media and culture. It is our hope that viewing CRIP CAMP and engaging in a critical discussion of the film will advance understanding and interest in disability rights and disability justice for yourself and the communities you work in. Thank you for joining the conversation! Preparing for your viewing Before working through the activities and questions outlined here, we suggest preparing in a few ways. First download Sins Invalid’s “10 Principles of Disability Justice” (https://bit.ly/2IVrp6h) and read through it. Next, review these five core questions guided by the principles of media literacy. Throughout the discussion we encourage you to use the principles of media literacy to support critical thinking with your students. These questions are ones you can always return to during any discussion: 1. Who created this? 2. What values are being shared? 3. What techniques are used to capture my attention? 4. How might others perceive this media differently than me? 5. What is missing? Crip Camp Educator Discussion Guide 2 Tips on Talking About Disability and Difference Offer Language Options The words we use matter, and there isn’t one right way to talk about disability or disabled people.
