Research questions

  1. How, by/for whom and for what purpose has ableism so far been conceptualized in theory, research, and digital activism, in different countries and contexts?
  2. How do feminist disability activists from different countries concretize ableism and reconstruct abledment*, and how do they address intersections of various forms of power-imbalance, privilege, and marginalization in their (digital) activism?
  3. What intersectional effects does ableism have on women in relation to the dis/ability binary and beyond a sole focus on disability embodiment, and how can a feminist intersectional approach reveal conditions of abledment in specific contexts?

*Based on Fiona Kumari Campbell, abledment refers to the formation of the able subject. See: Campbell, F. K. (2019). Precision ableism: A studies in ableism approach to developing histories of disability and abledment. Rethinking History, 23(2), 138-156
