Unreasonable adjustments: the additional unpaid labour of academics with disabilities

Abstract

Two recent contributions to this section have drawn attention to the barriers which academics with disabilities have to navigate in academia where ableism “is endemic” (Brown and Leigh, 2018 Brown, N & Leigh, J (2018) Abelism in academia? Where are the disabled and ill academics. Disability & Society, 33 (6): 985–989.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]: 4). Hannam-Swain (2018 Hannam-Swain, S (2018) The additional labour of a disabled PhD student. Disability & Society, 33 (1): 138–142.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) highlighted the additional intellectual, emotional and physical labour required of her as a disabled PhD student, and Brown and Leigh (2018 Brown, N & Leigh, J (2018) Abelism in academia? Where are the disabled and ill academics. Disability & Society, 33 (6): 985–989.[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) queried “where are all the disabled and ill academics?” However, Brown and Leigh primarily focus on those with invisible “conditions” and the dilemmas raised by disclosure in a context where such conditions negate academic status and credibility. In contrast, since my “disability” is visible, I do not share the dilemma/“luxury” of secrecy. My presence announces my status before me, and this negates my personhood altogether in academic settings. It also places a burden of additional unpaid labour upon me which has significant mental health and career impacts as well as violating principles of equality.     

需要·实践·人的解放

需要与实践的矛盾运动是人类社会存在和发展的基本条件。在私有制下,人的需要发生了异化,主要表现为：无穷拥有财富的需要,剥削控制他人的需要,精致与粗陋的需要,把劳动作为谋生手段的需要。同时,满足人的需要的劳动也与需要发生了分离和对立。马克思认为,消灭需要的异化过程也就是人的解放的实现过程,觉悟了的无产阶级通过阶级斗争消灭私有制是消灭需要的异化的必要条件,而生产劳动实践和自然科学对人的生活的改造则为人的解放准备了物质条件。     

借势发展:县域经济科学发展的“快车道”

主动就近承接先进地区的产业转移和要素外溢,借梯登高、借势发展,是县域经济又好又快发展的重要途径.高密市借鉴江苏省昆山市借势上海发展的模式与经验,立足实际、明确思路;主动作为、全面对接;突出重点、创新举措,"主动对接、率先融入" 青岛城市群,实现了思想观念、行政机制、经济结构、基础设施、科技与人才、信息资源、产业链条等的全方位对接,发展配套产业和"配角"经济,促进了区域经济的持续、快速发展.     

“性贿赂”入罪的法理支持

目前刑法将贪污贿赂罪局限在收受财物的范围内,易导致“性贿赂”这种具有严重社会危害性的行为逃脱刑罚的制裁。从法理学的视角,从“性贿赂”入罪的应然性、道德合理性、立法渊源的层面,来论证将“性贿赂”纳入刑法调整范围的合理性和必要性。     

行政决策法治化与服务型政府建设

行政决策法治化是现代政府建设的重要内容。行政决策法治化的根本动力和价值追求是公众权利的实现与保障。行政决策法治化通过行政决策科学化和民主化与服务型政府建设在公众权利的实现与保障上达到耦合,耦合的基本要求是公众参与制度化、利益团体多元化、信息公开规范化、监督形式多样化、责任追究明确化。     

社会工作介入山西煤炭污染防治的可能性研究

社会工作就是以利他为行为动机,通过运用专业的知识、技巧和方法,达到解决社会问题、增强案主的社会功能之效果的一种助人服务活动.不管是从社会工作的发展趋势来看,还是从社会工作对象、社会工作功能上来讲,在山西煤炭污染防治的过程中,社会工作的介入都是具有可能性的.     

大学的法治与大学生权利保护

大学法治要求大学的管理者在处理大学各项事务中必须体现法治精神,依法决策、依法办事,把学校各项工作纳入法治化轨道.由于观念因素和制度因素的缺陷,大学生在受教育权、名誉权、隐私权、财产权、申诉权等方面还不同程度的受到一定侵犯.因此,作为管理者的大学还需要更新管理理念,强化法治意识,健全程序法治,推进民主建设,完善申诉机制,落实权利救济.     

兴而致情,情生诗歌——论中国传统诗歌美学创作主张

艺术的一个主要功能是“吟咏性情”,而情的生发又离不开“兴”。兴而致情,情生诗歌是中国古典诗歌中一个占主导地位的美学主张。由兴致情的诗歌艺术主张实际上代表着中国审美艺术创作中一种颇具积极意义和艺术原创价值的理论,这种艺术创作主张也不单单地局限于诗歌艺术领域内,实际上它已扩展到整个艺术领域中,成为一种较为健康扣有生命活力的艺术创作方法和艺术欣赏方法。

Emotions and cosmopolitan sociability: Barriers and opportunities for intercultural encounters amongst new Chinese migrants in New Zealand

Emotions matter, particularly in experiences of migration. This article explores how emotions are involved in everyday intercultural encounters and the role of emotions in generating cosmopolitan sociability in the context of migration. The article is based upon qualitative research with 80 Chinese 1st and 1.5 generation migrants in New Zealand. We focus on ‘contact zones’ as social spaces where migrants have uneven opportunities to encounter cultural others and where ‘emotional dissonance’ can emerge through unsuccessful intercultural exchanges. In order to generate a sense of comfort and familiarity in such conflicted spaces, migrants need to invest in ‘emotional labour’ to engage in more cosmopolitan sociability as an attempt to transform ‘contact zone’ to ‘comfort zone’. Through this article we argue that emotions can both promote and encourage, but also undermine and limit the capacity to perform cosmopolitan sociability and build intercultural relations.
