Researching Indigenous people living with a disability: The urgent need for an intersectional and decolonising approach (BlakAbility)

Abstract

According to available data, significant numbers of Indigenous people live with a disability and encounter both racism and disability-related discrimination. Yet, research about the impact of these intersecting sites of discrimination remains vastly under-researched. This commentary argues that research using intersectionality embedded with decolonising knowledges and practices and Indigenous Standpoints on disability, that is informed and led by those with lived experience, is urgently needed.
