Deal\u2019s paper highlights the importance of understanding and challenging this form of subtle disablism to ensure (amongst other aims)\u00a0that design communities responsible for our built (or digital) environment do not perpetuate a society that actively disables people with impairments. In this sense, aversive disablism represents an important concept, without which any vocabulary of disability or design is incomplete. I drew on this paper for my <a title=\"Web development and aversive disablism\" href=\"http:\/\/slewth.wordpress.com\/2009\/05\/01\/web-development-and-aversive-disablism\/\">2010 Blogging Against Disablism post <\/a>and <a title=\"W4A 2010 blog post and paper\" href=\"http:\/\/slewth.wordpress.com\/2010\/05\/10\/w4a-2010-paper-wins-john-slatin-award\/\">Web4All joint paper with Brian Kelly and David Sloan<\/a> last year, applying Deal\u2019s arguments to incorporate online environments.

This identifies the outcomes of web developer&#8217;s disregard for disabled users requirements \u00a0as &#8220;doing production&#8221;, resulting in a disabling web that enacts disability. The authors arguments are developed for contemporary Web 2.0 discourse by Ellis and Kent (2010) in their book <em>Disability and New Media. <\/em>Ellis and Kent develop this notion of &#8220;doing production&#8221; with regard to Social Networking Sites &#8211; their insights into the structural production of disability in social networks, I feel, resonates strongly with Deal&#8217;s notion of aversive disablism.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Next post out on Monday 4th.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\r\n\t\t<!-- BEGIN ODIOGO LISTEN BUTTON v2.5.7 (WP) -->\r\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n\t\t<!--\r\n\t\t\/\/ ODIOGO_START:do_NOT_remove_this_comment\r\n\t\tshowOdiogoReadNowButton (\"687068\", \"#1 &#8216;Aversive disablism: subtle prejudice toward disabled people&#8217; by Mark Deal\", \"1102\", 290, 55);\r\n\t\t\/\/ -->\r\n\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<br\/>\r\n\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" language=\"javascript\">\r\n\t\t<!--\r\n\t\tshowInitialOdiogoReadNowFrame (\"687068\", \"1102\", 290, 0);\r\n\t\t\/\/ ODIOGO_END:do_NOT_remove_this_comment\r\n\t\t\/\/ -->\r\n\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<!-- END ODIOGO LISTEN BUTTON v2.5.7 (WP) -->\r\n\t\t\n<p>To take advantage of Routledge&#8217;s free Education journal access over the course of April 2011, I&#8217;m\u00a0presenting papers to\u00a0highlight\u00a0research with powerful\u00a0applications in the fields of\u00a0technology, disability\u00a0and education.\u00a0Comments and suggestions are, as always, welcome.
