This panel discussion focuses on gender and disability at work, to focus on the key aspects that, in their scholarship and praxis, colleagues can reflect upon to develop interdisciplinary discussions about gender and disability.
A key aim of the webinar is to better understand the relevance and potential of gender and disability research. The panel will discuss the conceptualisation and challenges of researching disability to then move to interrogating the relationship between gender and disability.
Panel members will share insights from their research to illuminate the intersections and relevance of disability for gender research. Some of the questions that will be addressed in the panel discussion are:
- Is stigma the dog that doesn't bark?
- How do gender and disability intersect, and to what effect? What are the implications of exploring this intersection?
- How do we reconcile accessibility and inclusivity?
- What can gender scholars learn from disability studies to advance knowledge about gender at work and workplace inequalities?
