Nu Misra feels voicing experiences helps others articulate their thoughts
The processes for fieldwork research are constructed for able-bodied persons. Persons with disabilities (PwD) not opting for field-based research or an academic career that demands it, is not a solution. Richi Rungta, a student at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai, and Nu Misra, a disability justice author, founder and editor-in-chief of Revival Disability Community (RDC), highlight the need to first speak about ableist approaches in fieldwork and bring forth issues faced by PwD in order to work towards a solution.
They will be conducting an online workshop, Disabling Academia, to highlight ableist approaches encountered during one’s academic career in the field and at internships.
