Document summary

The project aims to forge new understandings of disability activism, politics, and the resistance practices of young disabled activists across Europe. The research involves: (a) young disabled activist’s experiences across a range of cultural and political contexts beyond the UK; and (b) their aspirations for disability politics and inclusive societies across Europe. More specifically, the research explores young disabled activist’s thoughts about: (a) the “problem” of dis/ability; (b) organising society to address disabling barriers; and (c) the role of disabled people’s social movements in pursuing emancipation. There are four phases of the project: a survey exploring the opportunities and challenges, interviews exploring opportunities and challenges, a future laborator workshop, and production of a documentar film.
