本文将非殖民主义方法应用于霸权心理科学，利用残疾研究(DS)的边缘化知识视角来揭示和瓦解与能力标准理解相关的压迫性知识形成。在论文的第一部分，我们利用主流的DS学术来挑战弥漫在心理科学中的对残疾的个人主义取向(在医学模型和积极心理学角度中很明显)。这种方法的目的是通过思考残疾人的可行和有价值的方式来使残疾正常化。在论文的第二部分，我们利用关键的种族和全球残疾的观点来变性对能力的霸权主义描述。现代学科的能力不是人类身体和精神的基本属性，而是反映了技术和意识形态的投资，这些投资使少数特权阶层受益，同时使被边缘化的全球多数人丧失能力。最后，我们讨论了非殖民主义理论对DS的影响，以及对残疾主观性的考虑可以影响非殖民主义项目的方式。
This paper applies a decolonial approach to hegemonic psychological science by engaging marginalized knowledge perspectives of Disability Studies (DS) to reveal and disrupt oppressive knowledge formations associated with standard understandings of ability. In the first section of the paper, we draw upon mainstream DS scholarship to challenge individualistic orientations to disability (evident in the medical model and positive psychology perspectives) that pervade psychological science. The purpose of this approach is to normalize disability by thinking through disabled ways of being as viable and valuable. In the second section of the paper, we draw upon critical race and global disability perspectives to denaturalize hegemonic accounts of ability. Rather than essential properties of human bodies and minds, the capabilities of the modern subject reflect technological and ideological investments that enable a privileged few, while disabling the marginalized global majority. We conclude by discussing implications of decolonial theory for DS and ways in which considerations of disability subjectivity can inform the decolonial project.
