Making Disability Research Useful (Practice Brief)
Broido, Ellen M.
Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v33 n3 p275-281 Fall 2020
Scholarship on disability in higher education would be more useful to practitioners and make greater contributions to socially justice practice if authors made implications applicable to diverse audiences, focused on addressing ableist environments rather than changing disabled community members, promoted diverse ways of being and functioning, and was written in accessible language. Through examples, I show how implications can be written in ways accessible to and adapted for the work of multiple audiences, address barriers within campus environments, advocate for diverse ways of functioning, and use language and concepts applicable to broad audiences. Through these practices, disability scholarship in higher education can contribute to the development of campus environments that work for the broadest range of students, staff, and faculty.
