The “Illusion” of Social Research/ Action. Reflections on Neo-Colonial Pedagogy
TLDR
In this article, the difference between postcolonialism and neo-colonialism in relation to people with disabilities and in disability studies is discussed. But the authors argue that in the case of this group of people, we are dealing with a Neo-colonial pedagogy rather than a post-colonial one.Abstract:
In the text, the author demonstrated that regardless of the prevailing regime, the State, by relying on separate laws for people with disabilities (or any other minority group), has created and continues to create colonies of sorts. In the first part of the article, the author presented the difference between postcolonialism and neo-colonialism in relation to people with disabilities and in Disability Studies. Afterward, he highlighted the illusory nature of research and, above all, educational activities in favor of people with disabilities. He argues that in the case of this group of people, we are dealing with neo-colonial pedagogy rather than a postcolonial one.read more

Disability Studies: What’s the Point?
TL;DR: The profoundly disabling tendencies of modern society were downplayed and or over looked completely as mentioned in this paper and the policy outcomes of these approaches allowed politicians, professionals and practitioners; either, to adopt an exclusively traditional individual approach to the problem of "disability" or, to espouse a more liberal inter-relational agenda similar to what Miller and Gwynne termed an enlightened guardianship perspective.
