  • Disability As a Liminal Legal Concept
    Welcoming Monsters: Disability as a Liminal Legal Concept Jonas-S~bastien Beaudry* "One morning, I got up to shave, as usual, and instead of a hair, there was a feather on my face." "Well, it's normal for a crow to have feathers. However what's less normal is to shave if you have feathers." "But I wasn't a crow before, I was a normal being like you..."' The philosophy of disability has burgeoned into a field of its own. Like the general field of disability studies, it hosts a multiplicity of schools, expertise and methodologies. It is unified, if at all, by a desire for the social integration of people perceived or understood to be "different", mentally or physically. This article aims to orient the reader within the field of the philosophy of disability and present some important lessons that it can teach legal actors. The task of achieving social integration for people with disabilities (PWD) and other minority groups has often been presented under the political idiom of equality. Philosophers have contributed to this endeavor, both within and outside of law schools, by problematizing the meaning and normative implications of equality. Philosophers of disability, in particular, have empowered disability activists with egalitarian arguments utilizing notions of oppression, dignity and substantive equality. However, the field of the philosophy of disability is not only divided by the question of "what is equality and how to best achieve it?" but also by the more fundamental question of "what is social integration and how to best achieve it?" While egalitarian answers to that question may hold greater purchase in our current legal culture, I will consider other promising answers that draw from beyond the confines of liberalism in this article, * Assistant Professor, Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia.

  • Dignity and the Toileting Issue for Persons with Multiple and Severe Disabilities
    Developmental Disabilities Bulletin, 2009, Vol. 37, No. 1 & 2, pp. 153-164 Breaching the Last Frontier: Dignity and the Toileting Issue for Persons with Multiple and Severe Disabilities Emma Pivato, PhD Centre for Integrated Studies Athabasca University Although much has been written about the normalization and social inclusion of persons with developmental disabilities over the past 50 years, a small subset of this population has remained largely overlooked – individuals who are quadriplegic, non-verbal and who also have additional disabilities, including cognitive impairment. The present project was designed to address one of the most glaring aspects of this neglect – personal control over personal hygiene and its connection to human dignity and sense of self-efficacy. Ten parents with adult children with severe and multiple disabilities were asked a series of questions to explore the following thesis: Are unnecessary physical barriers negatively impacting on normalization in the area of personal care, an important area of pro-social behavior? Background The concept of “normalization” was first formalized in 1959 through an Act passed in the Danish parliament, decreeing that those responsible ensure that Danish subjects with “mental retardation” live a life as much as possible like the rest of the Danish population. In Sweden this idea was picked up by Bengt Nirje, Ombudsman of the “Swedish Association for Retarded Children.” He disseminated the idea of normalization through talks at home and abroad and through personal communication with colleagues in America. Two of his papers were included in an edited work by Robert Kugel and Wolf Wolfensberger (1969) and this 154 Emma Pivato work became the catalyst for embedding the concept of normalization within the North American rehabilitation community.

Previous research suggests that careproviders' attitudes and perceptions significantly influence the type and quality of services received by institutionalized adults with developmental disabilities (IADD). This study explored attitudes careproviders hold concerning training needs of the IADD and their service model orientation. It traced the history of training people with developmental disabilities and provided a brief review of the medical, developmental, and normalization models of service delivery. The conceptual framework upon which this study was based proposed that staff perceptions and orientation concerning service delivery to the IADD can be conceptually related to five factors in a research model.

Rather than covering a little from all across the board of SRV issues, we will cover fewer areas in greater depth, because this can be very instructive and amusing. Model coherency (of a service) is one of the most unifying constructs related to SRV, but because of the large amount of material we have, it is one of the topics that we will have to cover some other time.

  • Fiona Campbell Thesis
    THE GREAT DIVIDE: ABLEISM AND TECHNOLOGIES OF DISABILITY PRODUCTION by Fiona Anne Kumari Campbell B.L.S. (Hons) Latrobe; J.P. (Qual) Qld. Centre for Social Change Research, School of Humanities and Human Services, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. Submitted in full requirement for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). 2003 This thesis is dedicated to: Julia Pastrana, posthumously. Julia was born in 1832 and was a short statured woman. Due to her differently appearing body Julia worked in circus and freak shows until her death in 1860, aged 28 years. Julia’s ‘act’ was billed as the ‘Ugliest woman in the world’. Her name became synonymous with monstrosity. Death did not release Julia from the violence inflicted upon her – a Professor Sokoloff mummified her body and Pastrana became a public spectacle for another hundred years. Julia Pastrana is remembered and acknowledged as one of our disability martyrs. This dissertation is an offering of recompense for the injustice done to her. i KEYWORDS Ableism; Cyborgs; Disability Theory; Ethics; Embodiment; Legal Disability; New Technologies; Normalcy; Ontological Formations; Personhood; Science Studies; Theology; Wrongful Life. ii ABSTRACT Subjects designated by the neologism 'disability' typically experience various forms of marginality, discrimination and inequality. The response by social scientists and professionals engaged in social policy and service delivery has been to combat the 'disability problem' by way of implementing anti-discrimination protections and various other compensatory initiatives. More recently, with the development of biological and techno-sciences such as 'new genetics', nanotechnologies and cyborgs the solution to 'disability' management has been in the form of utilizing technologies of early detection, eradication or at best, technologies of mitigation.

  • Wolf Wolfensberger (1934Á2011)
    Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research Vol. 13, No. 2, 2011, 167Á168 OBITUARY In memoriam: Wolf Wolfensberger (1934Á2011) Professor Emeritus Wolf Wolfensberger died in Syracuse, New York, on 27 February 2011 following a long illness. He was one of the most eminent scholars and critical thinkers in the field of disability in the twentieth century, and a powerful and often controversial voice in the reform of human services worldwide, particularly for people with intellectual disabilities. Born in Mannheim, Germany in 1934, Wolfensberger’s childhoodwas strongly affected by Nazi Germany and the Second World War which influenced his views and understandings of human nature. He emigrated to the United States in 1950 at the age of 16. Following degrees in philosophy and clinical psychology he earned his doctorate from Peabody College, where he specialized in mental retardation and special education. Wolfensberger worked in the United States, primarily based at Syracuse University, but also in England and Canada. At Syracuse University he established and directed the Institute for Human Service Planning, Leadership and Change Agentry. Much of his influence was mediated through workshops and consultations through this Training Institute, where he also welcomed numerous visiting scholars and students from around the world. The driving force behind his work was his analysis of the harmful effects of societal devaluation on the lives of disabled people and his call to us to prevent or undo this harm. Wolfensberger was an early leader in promoting deinstitutionalization, social integration, and the development of comprehensive community-based services and supports. He learned about normalization from Niels-Erik Bank Mikkelsen (Den- mark) and Bengt Nirje (Sweden) during their visits to the United States in the 1960s.
