Answering Our Detractors – Argument in Support of Studies in Ableism As an Approach to Negotiating Human Differences and Tackling Social Exclusion
Answering Our Detractors – Argument in Support of Studies in Ableism as an approach to negotiating Human Differences and Tackling Social Exclusion Keynote for Conference on Studies in Ableism University of Manchester, 19 June 2017 Fiona Kumari Campbell ([email protected]) As part of my commitment to share knowledge without borders, I have made this paper freely available for all. However copyright resides with myself and as a work-progress- the paper will be subject to modifications. (DRAFT version – do not cite without permission of the author) WORK IN PROGRESS 1 A note on reading this paper ….. This paper contain many dense and complex ideas and as such it demand a careful reading and will at times be difficult to take in. Modern reading/knowledge styles often insist on an instant understanding and comprehension instead of the art of reading which is in many ways is a deep meditation that requires diligence; in other words you need to spend time absorbing any new ideas, pausing and reflecting, looking up unfamiliar words and generally letting the ideas flow through you. The paper was not written for a generalist audience; it was written in a style to suit the audience at the conference who I assumed had a working knowledge of social theory and also were familiar with my work. Of course I would write and have written differently for an audience made up of people from the grassroots – but this was not the moment for this paper. Intellectual thought has a place. We are part of a community where you can build upon my ideas, dialogue and apply them in your own work. -

Book of Abstracts
Centre for Disability Studies Postgraduate Conference 2019 Disability Studies: Past, Present and Future Book of abstracts CDS Leeds #CDSPGConf19 1 Keynote Presentation by Professor Roger Slee Title: Writing fiction – the case of inclusive education and students with disabilities. Notwithstanding espoused commitment to UNCRPD (2006) by education jurisdictions around the world, the educational experiences of children and young people with disabilities do not live up to the promise of inclusive education. Recent reviews of education for students with disabilities in Australia collectively build a narrative of exclusion. Educational exclusion is a stubborn foe. This address will attempt to move beyond critique to identify levers for building the capacity of schools to build inclusive educational cultures. Biography: Roger Slee is the Vice-Chancellor’s appointment to Chair of Education at the University of South Australia. He has previously held research chairs at The University of Western Australia, Goldsmiths College University of London, Victoria University and the Institute of Education UCL where he was the Chair of Inclusive Education. Roger is the former Dean of Education at Goldsmiths, The University of Western Australia and Magill. He holds an honorary chair in critical studies in education at The University of Auckland in New Zealand. He is currently working on major inclusive education projects in Ethiopia and Queensland. Roger is the Founding Editor of the International Journal of Inclusive Education and is on the Editorial Boards of many other journals. He is also the Editor of an important book series published by Sense Publishers. This Series ‘Studies in Inclusive Education’ focuses on the ways in which schools contribute to the failure of different student identities on the basis of gender, race, language, sexuality, disability, socio-economic status and geographic isolation. -

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. -
Engaging Studies in Ableism and Disability Jurisprudence
Problematizing Vulnerability: Engaging Studies in Ableism and Disability Jurisprudence (Draft) Fiona Kumari Campbell Keynote Legal Intersections Research Centre, Disability at the Margins: Vulnerability, Empowerment and the Criminal Law, University of Wollongong, Wednesday 27 November 2013. Griffith Law School Griffith University Adjunct Professor, Department of Disability Studies, Faculty of Medicine, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka [email protected] Not for quotation or citation without the permission of the author. 1 Introduction 1 This paper builds upon over a decade of work around developing the concept of ableism, its nuances and theoretical application in the lifeworld of people with disability. I extend the theoretical scoping developed in my major work Contours of Ableism (2009), especially around matters interconnected to relationality – causality, vulnerability and social exclusion. The grounded context of my discussion is situated within the discipline of law and the ‘vulnerable’/disabled subject of public policy and law. The paper is divided in two parts. Part 1 outlines ableist terrains , scoping disability as relational, a synopsis of studies in ableism, the building blocks of theory about ableism and social exclusion. Part 2 concerns the application of ableism in to notions of vulnerability and consequences for judicial and state action. The paper will introduce studies in ableism with particular attention to adopting ableism as a methodology for ‘problem’ appraisal and strategies for inclusion. It will then interrogate dominant discourses of vulnerability (disabled people as vulnus or wounded, having a stable trait (Fineman, 2008, 2010, 2012; Ingram & Price, 2010; Ingram & Gallagher, 2010; Misztal, 2011) incorporating discussion around the biopolitics of disabled people as a suffering population (Butler, 2009; Kaul, 2013; Lloyd, 2008), that is an immutable, discrete insular minority and hence should be a protected class. -
