Abstract

Who gets to perform the identity of student? How does the process of obtaining accommodations affect a student’s sense of belonging in university? What messages do faculty attitudes send to students who seek accommodations for psychiatric disability? To facilitate addressing these questions, this article uses the fictional short story form to explore one student’s journey to receive accommodations in her classes during a manic episode of bipolar disorder. Drawing data from literature review and researcher lived experience, the story seeks to portray the complexity of navigating higher education’s disability services system. The story-as-research aims to build empathy through inviting readers to place themselves in the mind of the main character, to consider the messages she receives about (non)belonging from faculty who view accommodations from different standpoints. The article offers insight into the complex interplay of internalized stigma, passing as (dis)abled, and navigating discourses within an educational institution. Keywords: psychiatric disability, higher education, fiction-based research, performativity, accommodations

一份令人筋疲力尽的工作:大学精神残疾作为表演(Dis)破裂的故事

谁来扮演学生的身份?获得住宿的过程如何影响学生在大学的归属感?教师的态度向那些寻求精神残疾治疗的学生传递了什么信息?为了方便回答这些问题，本文使用虚构的短篇故事的形式来探索一个学生在躁郁症躁狂发作期间在班上接受住宿的旅程。从文献综述和研究人员的生活经验中提取数据，这个故事试图描绘出在高等教育的残疾服务系统中导航的复杂性。作为研究的故事旨在通过邀请读者将自己置于主角的思想中来建立同理心，考虑她从从不同角度看待住宿的教师那里收到的关于(非)归属感的信息。这篇文章提供了内在的耻辱，作为(残疾)传递和导航话语在教育机构内复杂的相互作用的见解。关键词:精神障碍;高等教育;小说研究
