Research Title:<\/strong> Atmospheres of Ableism: A Phenomenological Exploration of Everyday Encounters<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Campbell and Nario-Redmond explain that ableism entails explicit and implicit biases that manifest at every level of social life. At the same time, Taussig describes ableism as \u201cthe atmosphere we breathe.\u201d Disability Studies scholarship has done much to identify how ableism operates in the everyday lives of disabled and nondisabled people alike; however, little work has been done to articulate it in terms of the atmospheric quality that Taussig discusses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on Taussig\u2019s assessment of ableism in conjunction with Casey\u2019s similar articulation of the atmosphere of emotion, this paper addresses the findings of an online qualitative survey distributed to adults with physical disabilities. Participants answered a series of open-ended questions designed to identify not only the types of ableist encounters experienced in everyday life, but also the emotions that these encounters generate. The research employs a phenomenological lens in order to provide a more nuanced and in-depth description of ableism as a part of disabled people’s everyday lived experience. In doing so, this research contributes to the study of ableism and particularly how it operates within ongoing rhetoric and practices of inclusion, access, and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
