University of Waikato PhD candidate Ingrid Jones is doing new research into changing the way society thinks about disability. Her research is called “Reimagining disability: Towards learning disability pride” and it aims to explore the ideas of disability pride and ableism with a group of learning (intellectually) disabled people. “Having a disability is largely viewed as having a problem, when it shouldn’t be,” she says. “It’s just a part of the diversity of humanity. The reason we have disability oppression is because society views disability as a problem. Being “able” is seen as the norm, when society is more diverse than that.” See the full article here: scoop.co.nz/stories/ED1408/S00065/reimagining-disability-ground-breaking-new-research.htm
