Who makes these decisions?\u00a0 What informs these decisions?\u00a0 Can universal inclusion be obtained in a late capitalist post-welfare society? This paper will be\u00a0a\u00a0socio-political\u00a0discussion of the inclusion agenda informed by the work of Herbert Marcuse. It will try to address whether a one dimensional view of the world, reinforced by globalisation, precludes the change needed to bring about universal inclusive education?\u00a0 The session will be an informal sharing of initial thoughts around these points.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>&#8216;Defining Disability: Using Taxonomies and Facets to understand what categories and definitions do&#8217;<\/strong>\u00a0Roundtable Discussion led by Sarah Lewthwaite (University of Nottingham)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Governments, legislation and models of disability and each advocate a certain perspective on impairment and disability. Each of these defines disability in its own way, with powerful effects on the lives of disabled people. In this open discussion I would like to introduce some developments from Information Architecture on the problem of category-making and definition to shed light on how definitions work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Foucault (1966) identified the \u2018invisible power\u2019 of categories, however Bowker and Star (1999) observe that critical discourse has not pursued this analysis. Whilst dominant definitions are challenged and negotiated, the nature of categorisation and its influence is not fully understood. I hope that, during a formative discussion, we can evaluate and identify\u00a0potentially new approaches to defining disability within research and teaching.<\/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\", \"Disability Research Forum\", \"714\", 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\", \"714\", 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>*News Flash* Next week I&#8217;ll be opening a round table discussion at Sheffield Hallam&#8217;s Disability Research Forum (DRF)\u00a0on &#8216;Defining Disability&#8217;, specifically I hope this session will help us understand what the process of definition itself does to our understanding.
