Research Funding and our understanding of disability
Submitted by Chewy Charis on March 11, 2016 - 16:44 Permalink
In your paper, you mentioned, "Disability research does not need to be funded solely on the fear that one day someone you know will develop a disability." This sentence immediately raised the questions for me: Then on what basis should it be funded on?
The problem with funding is that the research needs to be beneficial to the majority of taxpayers. Since everyone will become disabled at some stage, the purpose of improving the experience of living with disablity should be sufficient. However, because of the false idea of people with disability being a static “minority," some might not set this type of research as a priority without scare-tatics. More and more, I am reminded of how disability is seen as the ultimate unwanted thing upon which our value system is built.
