Social Theory is ‘cripped’ by centring disablement and the experiences of disabled people, whilst Disability Studies gains new resources for explaining how disablement arises, changes, and is sustained across solid and liquid modernity.

Disability, Rest & Free Time May 25

The second project, in turn, seeks to place rest and free time front-and-centre of the study, with some attention potentially also paid to the realm of work. It will include questionnaires & collective discussions with disabled people in the UK. A primary focus will be given to the participants’ periods of doing mostly unpaid work, volunteering, insecure waged work, or no work.

The Power of an Autistic Lens: Visualising Activity in Shared Public Space | Stuart Neilson

Stuart D Neilson Mar 30, 2023

#Autistic people are #disabled because the way the world is constructed - for the ease and comfort of the majority of people - is a world that #disables us.

#Disablement is an active choice. We do not have to make design choices that #exclude people. #AutismFriendly design is rarely expensive and always #PeopleFriendly.
