项目摘要
This project researches how the social and scientific framing of disabled citizens' bodies shaped New Dealers' efforts to relieve the suffering wrought by the Great Depression and effect long-term economic security. The New Deal propelled momentous state growth and transformed Americans' expectations of the federal government. This research aims to uncover how perceptions of ability, inability, and disability guided that growth. It analyzes ideas about disability and policy, while investigating and centering the actual experiences of disabled Americans who increasingly became the objects of policy meant to correct, contain, understand, and erase a central element of their identity. Disabled people often suffered extreme poverty during the Depression as economic constriction allowed employers to further narrow the physical qualifications for work, but physicians and social scientists presented conflicting ideas about how best to address disability. Most of the policy responses New Dealers developed made disabled people the objects of care and study, while disabled people themselves often sought opportunities for work. This focus on disability created new avenues for the federal government to provide medical care and for physicians, healthcare workers, and a broad range of scientists and social scientists to influence policy. Many of the policies New Dealers developed to address disability, and the ideas that informed them, continue to shape the lives of disabled Americans. While refined and expanded over time, the fundamental systems New Dealers imagined, created, and implemented to deal with disability remain. Much of the inaccessibility of the U.S. economy and society - policies, unmet needs, and underlying ideas that contributed to disabled people's economic and social marginalization - also remains. These ideas and systems shape the inequality disabled Americans continue to experience: disabled Americans earn significantly less than their non-disabled peers and are more than twice as likely to live in poverty. Moreover, disabled Americans are significantly less likely to have completed high school or college than non-disabled adults. Today, at roughly 19 percent of the population, disabled Americans constitute the largest U.S. minority group, and the only minority group that anyone could potentially join at any point. This research seeks to understand how and why these systems were put in place, knowledge that will help in improving the existing systems or developing new ones that will facilitate better economic inclusion for people with disabilities. Drawing on extensive archival and government documents, this project aims to bring the disability history of the New Deal into the public sphere to inform and contextualize significant, contemporary debates and help to illuminate useful paths forward by making the path we have already traveled clear. The New Deal forged the modern U.S. state's relationship with its largest minority group. Only by engaging with the New Deal's ongoing legacies can the United States create policy that fulfills the New Deal promise of economic security.This project is jointly funded by STS and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该项目研究残疾公民身体的社会和科学框架如何影响新交易商为缓解大萧条造成的痛苦和影响长期经济安全所做的努力。新政推动了该州的巨大增长,并改变了美国人对联邦政府的期望。这项研究旨在揭示对能力、无能和残疾的看法是如何指导这种增长的。它分析了关于残疾和政策的想法,同时调查和集中了美国残疾人的实际经历,他们越来越多地成为政策的对象,旨在纠正、遏制、理解和抹去他们身份的一个核心要素。在大萧条期间,残疾人经常遭受极端贫困,因为经济紧缩允许雇主进一步缩小工作的身体条件,但医生和社会科学家在如何最好地解决残疾问题上提出了相互矛盾的想法。New Dealers制定的大多数政策回应都将残疾人作为照顾和学习的对象,而残疾人本身也经常寻找工作机会。这种对残疾的关注为联邦政府提供医疗保健以及医生、医护人员以及广泛的科学家和社会科学家影响政策创造了新的途径。New Dealers为解决残疾问题而制定的许多政策,以及为他们提供信息的想法,继续塑造着美国残疾人的生活。虽然随着时间的推移而得到完善和扩展,但New Dealers想象、创建和实施的处理残疾问题的基本系统仍然存在。美国经济和社会的许多不可及之处--导致残疾人经济和社会边缘化的政策、未得到满足的需求和潜在的想法--也仍然存在。这些想法和制度塑造了残疾美国人继续经历的不平等:残疾美国人的收入明显低于非残疾同龄人,生活在贫困中的可能性是非残疾同龄人的两倍多。此外,与非残疾人相比,美国残疾人完成高中或大学学业的可能性要小得多。今天,美国残疾人约占总人口的19%,是美国最大的少数群体,也是唯一一个任何人都有可能在任何时候加入的少数群体。这项研究试图了解这些系统是如何以及为什么建立的,这些知识将有助于改进现有系统或开发新的系统,以促进残疾人更好地融入经济。该项目利用大量的档案和政府文件,旨在将新政的残疾历史带入公共领域,为当代的重大辩论提供信息并为其提供背景,并通过明确我们已经走过的道路,帮助照亮前进的有用道路。新政缔造了现代美国政府与其最大少数群体的关系。只有通过与新政正在进行的遗产接触,美国才能制定履行新政对经济安全的承诺的政策。该项目由STS和既定的激励竞争研究计划(EPSCoR)联合资助。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
