Literature reviewOver the last thirty years the interdisciplinary field of disability studies has intervenedin a host of disciplines and university courses including social work, sociology,education and medicine (e.g., Morgan and Roulstone, 2012; Slee, 2018; Hunt,2022).My research seeks to make social and cultural anthropology inclusive for disabledanthropologists in pedagogy, curriculum, action research and reflective practice; foracademics, researchers and students. I want to explore the theoretical reasons foranthropology's lack of engagement with disability and disability studies, to empiricallyresearch and to create more inclusive practices, spaces and communities fordisabled anthropologists and social anthropology students interested in researchingdisability. I adopt social and cultural anthropology as a disciplinary case study: toraise wider issues about disability, access, equity, and challenging academic ableism(Dolmage, 2017)The core aims of my project are situated within the recognized need for a reflexiveturn against ableism in anthropology between the reflexive turn of post-colonialanthropology (which critiques the white anthropologist's gaze on postcolonial spacesas proposed by Asad, 1979) and feminist anthropology (see Avishai et al., 2012which aims to bring the perspective of the female researcher into anthropologicalresearch to target the male gaze). Whilst both poles of knowledge bring fruitfuldisciplinary reflexivity and new perspectives of doing anthropological research thatdiffered from the body of a classical white male ethnographer; these poles do notpay attention to the body of the disabled researcher. Therefore, I will aim to centrethe role of a disabled researcher whose 'bodymind' (Price, 2015) is different to theclassical anthropologist. My approach will pay more attention to an intersectionallens as disability traverses gender, sex, ethnicity and transnational lines. Moreover,my approach will illuminate the ableist nature of anthropological research and thediscipline, it will consequently focus on the concept of 'ableist normativity' (Campbell,2008). Thus, this research project will call for a new reflexive turn within thediscipline that goes beyond the aforementioned traditions and poles of expertise.The core aims of my project are situated within the recognized need for a reflexiveturn against ableism in anthropology between the reflexive turn of post-colonialanthropology (which critiques the white anthropologist's gaze on postcolonial spacesas proposed by Asad, 1979) and feminist anthropology (see Avishai et al., 2012which aims to bring the perspective of the female researcher into anthropologicalresearch to target the male gaze).

文献综述在过去的30年里，残疾研究的跨学科领域介入了许多学科和大学课程，包括社会工作、社会学、教育学和医学(例如，Morgan和Roulstone，2012；Slee，2018；Hunt，2022)。我的研究试图使社会和文化人类学在教育学、课程、行动研究和反思实践方面包容残疾人类学家；面向学者、研究人员和学生。我想探索人类学缺乏对残疾和残疾研究的参与的理论原因，进行实证研究，并为对残疾研究感兴趣的残疾人类学家和社会人类学学生创造更具包容性的实践、空间和社区。我采用社会和文化人类学作为一个学科案例研究：探讨更广泛的关于残疾、机会、平等和挑战学术能力的问题(Dolmage，2017)我的项目的核心目标位于公认的需要对人类学中的能力主义进行反省的需要，介于后殖民人类学的反身性转向(它批评了白人人类学家对后殖民空间的凝视，由Asad，1979提出)和女权主义人类学(见Avishai等人，2012，旨在将女性研究者的视角引入人类学研究，以针对男性凝视)。虽然知识的两极都带来了卓有成效的学科反身性和进行人类学研究的新视角，这与经典的白人男性民族志学者的身体不同；但这两极并不关注残疾研究人员的身体。因此，我将以残疾研究人员的角色为中心，他的“身体思维”(普莱斯，2015)与经典人类学家不同。我的方法将更多地关注残疾跨越性别、性别、种族和跨国界限的交叉问题。此外，我的方法将阐明人类学研究和学科的能力主义性质，因此它将聚焦于“能力主义规范”的概念(Campbell，2008)。因此，这个研究项目将在学科内呼吁一个新的反身性转向，超越上述传统和专家的两极。我的项目的核心目标位于公认的需要，即在后殖民人类学的反身性转向(它批评了白人人类学家对后殖民空间的凝视)和女权主义人类学(见Avishai等人，2012年旨在将女性研究者的视角带入人类学研究，以针对男性凝视)之间，对人类学中的能力主义进行反思性转向。虽然知识的两极都带来了卓有成效的学科反身性和进行人类学研究的新视角，这与经典的白人男性民族志学者的身体不同；但这两极并不关注残疾研究人员的身体。因此，我将以残疾研究人员的角色为中心，他的“身体思维”(普莱斯，2015)与经典人类学家不同。我的方法将更多地关注残疾跨越性别、性别、种族和跨国界限的交叉问题。此外，我的方法将阐明人类学研究和学科的能力主义性质，因此它将聚焦于“能力主义规范”的概念(Campbell，2008)。因此，这项研究项目将呼吁在学科内超越上述传统和专业知识的新的反身性转向。
