UK: Webinar: Catherine Hale & Dr Anna Ruddock, discuss the emancipatory disability research of the Chronic Illness Inclusion Project, Fri, 9 April 21

What is the chronic illness community, and why is there no reference to chronic illness in the framework of impairment and disability that shapes social and public policy for disabled people in the UK? Authors of Energy impairment and disability inclusion, Catherine Hale and Dr Anna Ruddock, discuss the emancipatory disability research of the Chronic Illness Inclusion Project. We argue that our invisibility as a cohort of disabled people is bound up with systemic disbelief of our experiences. Interrupting this cycle of invisibility and disbelief is key to promoting equality and human rights for people with chronic illness. Dr Ruddock also discusses her research into the impact of Covid-19 on people with chronic illness.
