摘要

背景:作为 2023 年 11 月第七届非洲残疾问题证据行动网络(AfriNEAD)会议记录的一部分,举办了一次会前研讨会,调查非洲残疾研究领域的博士候选人和早期职业研究人员的经验和需求:确定如何利用非洲残疾问题证据行动网络(AfriNEAD)的现有结构来支持新兴的非洲残疾问题研究人员。本文记录了此次活动,并总结了讨论中的主要发现:研讨会包括健康专业教育领域知名学者的演讲、与博士候选人和早期职业研究人员的小组讨论,以及关于支持新兴研究人员所需内容的小组讨论:结果:与会者认为残疾研究不仅是一项学术活动,也是一种深刻的个人追求,需要反省和自觉,他们认为需要得到支持。在与残疾人一起开展研究工作时,还存在一些特殊的伦理问题,需要在残疾研究研究生教育中予以优先考虑。与会者提出的需求总结如下(结论:我们建议,非洲残疾学者和学术的发展需要一种非洲伦理方法,这种方法优先考虑人性、社区和互惠:非洲残疾研究学者完全有能力打破学术、医疗和社会领域的能力主义以及学术界内部的等级制度,因为这些制度限制了发展、相互成长和尊重。

Seeing the human behind the research: Strengthening emerging African disability researchers.

Background: A pre-conference workshop that investigated the experiences and needs of PhD candidates and early career researchers in disability studies in Africa was held as part of the proceedings of the African Network for Evidence to Action in Disability (AfriNEAD) 7th Conference in November 2023.

Objectives: To determine how the existing structures in AfriINEAD can be leveraged to support emerging African disability researchers. This article documents this event and summarises the key findings from the discussions that took place.

Method: The workshop included presentations from leading scholars in health professions education, panel discussions with PhD candidates and early career researchers, and small group discussions on what is needed to support emerging researchers.

Results: Disability studies was positioned by participants as not only an academic exercise but also a deeply personal pursuit, requiring introspection and conscientisation, with which they felt they needed support. There are also specific ethical concerns related to doing research work with persons with disabilities, which need to be prioritised in postgraduate education in disability studies. The needs identified by participants are summarised as: (1) mentorship, (2) networking, and (3) funding.

Conclusion: We suggest that the development of African disability scholars and scholarship requires an African ethical approach, which prioritises humanity, community and reciprocity.

Contribution: African disability studies scholars are well-placed to disrupt ableism in academic, medical and social spheres, as well as hierarchies within academia, which limit development, mutual growth and respect.

期刊介绍: The African Journal of Disability, the official journal of CRS, AfriNEAD and CEDRES, introduce and discuss issues and experiences relating to and supporting the act of better understanding the interfaces between disability, poverty and practices of exclusion and marginalisation. Its articles yield new insight into established human development practices, evaluate new educational techniques and disability research, examine current cultural and social discrimination, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems shared across the African continent. Emphasis is on all aspects of disability particularity in the developing African context. This includes, amongst others: -disability studies as an emerging field of public health enquiry -rehabilitation, including vocational and community-based rehabilitation -community development and medical issues related to disability and poverty -disability-related stigma and discrimination -inclusive education -legal, policy, human rights and advocacy issues related to disability -the role of arts and media in relation to disability -disability as part of global Sustainable Development Goals transformation agendas -disability and postcolonial issues -globalisation and cultural change in relation to disability -environmental and climate-related issues linked to disability -disability, diversity and intersections of identity -disability and the promotion of human development.
