Disability and Community: Dis/engagement, dis/enfranchisement, dis/parity and dissent - aka The D4D project

残疾与社区：残疾/参与、残疾/权利、残疾/平等和异议（又名D4D项目）将调查残疾人表达、表演、体验和实践“社区”的不断发展的方式。这项工作将以批判性残疾理论为指导，它将突出残疾人的知识和生活经验。项目团队汇集了来自不同学科的学者，在表演和艺术实践方面具有专业知识的社区调查员，以及社区合作伙伴（包括Shape， accentate和DRUK）。我们的目标是向参与的社区学习，建立理解，为联系、团结、韧性和行动创造机会，并为参与的社区和合作伙伴创造有意义的遗产。D4D将探索残疾人社区的历史、临床、制度、政治和技术建设的各个方面，并追踪社区成员随着时间的推移对这些不同可能性的质疑、拒绝和接受的方式。该项目将促进参与者之间的代理和赋权，促进知识交流和专业发展，并为对话和干预创造新的空间。D4D的研究问题是：残疾人以何种方式与周围的社区建立联系/断开联系，以及他们如何破坏现有的关系，重新定位自己，并重新塑造周围的社区？该团队将在借鉴残疾研究和社区研究文献的同时探索这个问题，并参与持续的合作和反思（例如，关于权力、伦理和研究实践的问题）。将有8个工作流程：WS1 -将探讨融合和边缘化问题，重点关注两种环境：主流学校和工作场所。它将探索“包容”的生活体验。这项工作将结合民族志研究和一系列文化动画研讨会，通过这些研讨会，残疾参与者将阐明和探索包容和边缘化的各个方面。WS2 -将通过关注游戏，探索技术可能影响或促进社会归属感体验的方式。蒸汽将支持方法发展，因为它将涉及探索新技术可以支持非传统研究参与者的代理参与的方式。WS3 -将探讨残障艺术界的起源、发展和未来。特别是，这将涉及探索“身份艺术”运动中关于归属和社区问题的紧张关系。WS4 -这一环节将探讨参与者如何形成、体验和表达另类社区，以及他们如何管理自己的（错位）安置和被主流社会取消资格。这项研究也将支持残疾人社区对临床实践的批判性反应。WS5-在这方面，以艺术为基础的研究将推动对过去、现在和未来残疾人社区的调查。特别是，通过互动艺术作品“进化”的创作和展览，将要求主流观众从优生学和基因筛选等问题上考虑残疾人的观点。WS6 -好玩的身体，技术和社区将讨论技术，社会变革和身体，并确定对残疾和社区的影响，同时借鉴玩家研究，社交媒体研究，协作游戏设计和公共游戏。WS7 -参与的道德、反思和学习将指导所有上述活动，并支持所有参与者的实践和专业发展。WS8 -将为所有流程的技能共享和知识交流提供一个论坛，并努力在学术领域内外发挥最大的影响力。

Disability and Community: Dis/engagement, Dis/enfranchisement, Dis/parity and Dissent (aka the D4D project) will investigate the evolving ways in which disabled people express, perform, experience and practise 'community'. The work will be informed by critical disability theory, and it will foreground the knowledge and lived experiences of disabled people. The project team brings together academics from a range of disciplines, community investigators with expertise in performance and arts practice, and community partners (including Shape, Accentuate and DRUK). Our goals are to learn from participating communities, to build understanding, to generate opportunities for connections, solidarity, resilience and activism, and to create meaningful legacies for the communities and partners involved.D4D will explore aspects of the historical, clinical, institutional, political and technological construction of disabled communities, and trace the ways in which community members have contested, rejected and embraced these varied possibilities over time. The project will facilitate agency and empowerment among participants, facilitate knowledge exchange and professional development, and create new spaces for dialogue and intervention. D4D's research question is: In what ways are disabled people connected/disconnected to/from surrounding communities, and how might they trouble existing affiliations, re-situate themselves, and re-shape communities around them? The team will explore this question while drawing on disability studies and community research literature, and engaging in continual collaboration and reflection (on issues of power, ethics and research practice, for example). There will be 8 work streams: WS1 - will explore issues of integration and marginalization, focusing on two settings: mainstream schools and the work-place. It will explore lived experience of 'inclusion'. This work will combine ethnographic studies, with a series of cultural animation workshops through which disabled participants will articulate and explore aspects of inclusion and marginalization. WS2 - will explore the ways in which technology might impact on or facilitate experiences of social belonging, by focusing on play. The steam will support methodological development, as it will involve exploring the ways in which new technologies can support the agentic participation of non-traditional research participants. WS3 - will examine the origins, development and future of the Disability Arts community. In particular, this will involve exploring the tensions within 'identity arts' movements regarding issues of affiliation and community. WS4 - this strand will explore how participants form, experience and express alternative community, as well as how they manage their (dis)placement and disqualification by mainstream society. This research will also support disabled communities critically responds to clinical practice. WS5- In this strand, arts based research will drive an investigation of past, present and future disabled communities. In particular, through the creation and exhibition of an interactive art-piece, 'Evolution', mainstream audiences will be asked to consider disability perspectives on such matters as eugenics and genetic screening. WS6 - Playful Bodies, Technology and Community will address technologies, social change and the body, and identify the implications for disability and community, while drawing on player studies, social media research, collaborative game design, and public play. WS7 - Ethics, reflection and learning for participation will inform all the above activities and support the practices and professional development of all those taking part. WS8 - Will provide a forum for skill sharing and knowledge exchange across all streams, and work to maximize impact across and beyond the academic.
