No Longer Researching About Us Without Us

Objective

As a research project 'Nothing about us without us' is based on the values of belonging, equality, and respect. These values are at the core of the concept of equal opportunity and full participation of people with learning disabilities in their quest for inclusive lives. The project responds to the criticism made by members of disabled groups that in the past research has succeeded in doing things to people with disabilities rather than including them in the setting of the research agenda.

This latter approach has been described by the Incoming International Fellow as inclusive research. This project has four main aims and will work in an inclusive/participatory manner with a group of 15 participants with learning disabilities and five without as well as a reference group of interested stakeholders. The four stages of the project will cover participants undertaking a professional development course on inclusive research that leads to accessible outcomes for all involved; then implementing inclusive re search projects focussed upon the participants lives, such as, oral histories; followed by implementing inclusive research projects in collaboration with local agencies and community groups within Ireland; and finally setting up inclusive research networks between Ireland and across the European Union.
