  • More about Social Research and Disability: Developing Inclusive Research Spaces for Disabled Researchers


Social Research and Disability emphasizes the need to consider the experiences of disabled researchers when conducting empirical research and advocates for a sociological future that values the presence of disabled researchers and normalizes research methods that are inclusive and accessible.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 170 pages
Publication date: 01 August 2022
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Social Research and Disability presents a compelling argument that the contemporary rules of sociological methods outlined in various research methods texts make several assumptions concerning the researcher, which inadvertently exclude individuals with disabilities. These assumptions include abilities such as ambulance, sight, hearing, and speech. In essence, the disabled researcher is not considered when defining the requirements of specific methods.

Drawing upon these considerations, the volume emphasizes the challenges faced by disabled researchers in navigating the empirical process while maintaining the scientific rigor of the method. It also explores the negative consequences arising from disabled researchers' attempts to pass and the potential benefits that can result from a reflexive approach to method.

This innovative and original text brings together research-active academics who identify as being disabled to examine their experiences within a largely ableist academy. It also explores the strategies employed and the issues encountered when conducting empirical research. The primary objective of this volume is to establish the foundations for bringing the standards and vision of how we conduct social research to align with how the social world is understood: multi-faceted and intersectional.

To achieve this, this edited collection advocates for a sociological future that values the presence of disabled researchers and normalizes research methods that are inclusive and accessible. The interdisciplinary focus of Social Research and Disability appeals to a broad primary market, including students and established academics within the social sciences.
