Disability and the Home: Space, Domesticity, and Identity in London 1840 - 1945

该项目将研究1840-1945年间伦敦居家残疾的城市历史。位于玛丽女王和家庭博物馆合作的家庭研究中心，这将是第一个分析博物馆收藏品与残疾相关的研究项目。这项研究将通过对英国国家医疗服务体系成立前一个世纪身体和认知残疾人士的居住体验和空间政治的分析，为更广泛的关于住房、住房、残疾和城市的辩论做出原创性贡献。该项目将恢复患有各种身体和认知障碍的人体验家庭和家庭生活的方式。它还将绘制在家中残疾生活的经历是如何被更广泛的力量塑造的，包括城市化、工业化和民族主义，以及自助和优生学运动等意识形态。这项研究将专注于城市家庭环境中残疾人的生活；丰富有关城市家庭和家庭生活的知识，超越健全的中产阶级生活；并确定英国对残疾人住宿的态度是如何演变的。

This project will study the urban history of disability at home in London from 1840-1945. Based at the Centre for Studies of Home, a partnership between Queen Mary and the Museum of the Home, it will be the first research project to analyse the museum's collections in relation to disability. The research will make an original contribution to broader debates about home, housing, disability and the city through its analysis of the lived experience and spatial politics of home for people living with physical and cognitive disabilities in the century before the founding of the National Health Service. The project will recover the ways in which home and domesticity were experienced by people with various kinds of physical and cognitive disabilities. It will also chart how the experiences of living with disabilities at home were shaped by broader forces including urbanization, industrialization, and nationalism as well as ideologies such as self-help and the eugenics movement. The research will focus on the lives of people with disabilities in urban domestic settings; diversify knowledge about urban homes and domestic life beyond able-bodied, middle-class lives; and establish how attitudes toward the accommodation of disability have evolved in the UK.
