COVID-19 has brought to light the profound connection between economic and social inequalities and the health risks and negative health outcomes experienced by marginalized communities, including individuals with disabilities. Disabled individuals often face significant barriers to education, income, and social inclusion, which further exacerbate their vulnerability to negative pandemic-related outcomes. From the outset of the pandemic, it was evident that disabled people would be disproportionately affected, and this assertion became more evident as the crisis unfolded.
Disability in the Time of Pandemic is a timely and comprehensive exploration of emerging research into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with disabilities in diverse communities and across their complex identities. This book brings together the insights, perspectives, and methodologies of a diverse range of disciplines, including Anthropology, Disability Studies, Education, Physical and Rehabilitation Therapies, Public Health, Psychology, Sociology, and Womens and Gender Studies. By examining the initial and ongoing effects of the global pandemic on people with disabilities in Canada, India, Poland, and the United States, the authors shed light on the multifaceted challenges and experiences faced by this marginalized group.
The Research in Social Science and Disability series is a vital resource for researchers and students across the social sciences, with a particular focus on disability, social movements, activism, and identity. This book contributes to our understanding of the complex interplay between health, social justice, and disability, and provides valuable insights into the urgent need for inclusive policies, practices, and support systems to ensure the well-being and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their abilities.
