Including Disability in Social and Cultural Anthropology: From disciplinary absence to enabling environments

在过去的三十年中，残疾研究的跨学科领域已经介入了许多学科和大学课程，包括社会工作、社会学、教育和医学（例如，Morgan和Roulstone, 2012; Slee, 2018; Hunt,2022）。我的研究旨在使社会和文化人类学在教学法、课程设置、行动研究和反思实践方面对残疾人人类学家具有包容性；供学者、研究人员和学生使用。我想探索人类学缺乏参与残疾和残疾研究的理论原因，进行经验研究，并为残疾人类学家和对残疾研究感兴趣的社会人类学学生创造更具包容性的实践、空间和社区。我采用社会与文化人类学作为学科案例研究：提出关于残疾、机会、公平和挑战学术上的残疾主义的更广泛的问题（Dolmage, 2017）我的项目的核心目标是在后殖民人类学的反思性转向（它批评了Asad， 1979年提出的白人人类学家对后殖民空间的关注）和女权主义人类学（见Avishai等人）之间，对人类学中的残疾主义进行反思性转向的公认需求。2012年，旨在将女性研究者的视角引入人类学研究，以瞄准男性的目光)。虽然这两个极端的知识带来了富有成效的学科反思和人类学研究的新视角，不同于传统的白人男性人种学家的身体；这些杆子不注意残疾研究人员的身体。因此，我将以残疾研究者的角色为中心，他的“身心”（Price, 2015）不同于经典人类学家。我的方法将更多地关注残疾跨越性别、种族和跨国界限的交叉视角。此外，我的方法将阐明人类学研究和学科的体能主义本质，因此它将专注于“体能主义规范”的概念（Campbell,2008）。因此，这项研究项目将要求在学科内部进行新的反思，超越上述传统和专业知识的极点。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思性转向（批评白人人类学家对Asad， 1979年提出的后殖民空间的凝视）和女权主义人类学的反思性转向（见Avishai等人，2012年，其目的是将女性研究者的视角引入人类学研究，以瞄准男性凝视）之间，以反对人类学中的残疾主义。虽然这两个极端的知识带来了富有成效的学科反思和人类学研究的新视角，不同于传统的白人男性人种学家的身体；这些杆子不注意残疾研究人员的身体。因此，我将以残疾研究者的角色为中心，他的“身心”（Price, 2015）不同于经典人类学家。我的方法将更多地关注残疾跨越性别、种族和跨国界限的交叉视角。此外，我的方法将阐明人类学研究和学科的体能主义本质，因此它将专注于“体能主义规范”的概念（Campbell,2008）。因此，这项研究项目将要求在学科内部进行新的反思，超越上述传统和专业知识的极点。

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).
