BTF: Education, Disability and Development

BAICE Thematic Forum: Education, Disability &Development

Ethics and disability research in Southern contexts: unexplored terrain, unresolved tensions

Our aim is to critically examine ethical issues underpinning disability research in Southern contexts and explore emerging discourses. Some of the questions which will be discussed are:

• What are the particular ethical issues specific to disability research in the South?

• What ethical issues underpin the construction of knowledge in this field?

• What counts as ‘giving back’?

• What is the role of non-disabled Northern based researchers?

• What is the role of funded projects where North-South hierarchies may influence research?

Invited speakers:

Professor Nora Groce, University College London

Dr Shaun Grech, Manchester Metropolitan University

Dr Guy Le Fanu, Sightsavers
