“…Attitudes towards disability are deeply embedded in communities and cultures (Shakespeare 1994;Gilson and Depoy 2000;Ali et al 2001;Rao 2006). Social barriers and prejudicial cultural images of disability cannot easily be removed by simply adopting a disability rights approach as implied by the social model of disability.…”

“…Following Edwards and Imrie (2003) we think that Bourdieu's work on the social construction of the body provides a means of thinking beyond the biological reductionism of the medical model and the structural focus of the social model of disability (Finkelstein, 1980;Hughes, 2007;Oliver, 1990Oliver, , 1996Oliver, , 2004. While the limitations of biological reductionism have been well known within disability studies for sometime, more recently commentators have been critical of the social model for not accounting for disabled children (Ali, Qulsom, Bywater, Wallace, & Singh, 2001;Connors & Stalker, 2007) and excluding 'the body' from experiences of impairment more broadly (Hughes, 2000;Hughes & Paterson, 1997;Meekosha, 1999;Morris, 1991;Pinder, 1995).…”

It has long been recognised that family is an important arena in which sporting tastes and interests are nurtured. Indeed, for many young people the family introduces them to and then provides ongoing support for engaging in sport. Research has also indicated that the family has a significant position in the lives of young disabled people. In this paper we explore the interrelationships between sport, family and disability. Like a number of writers within disability studies we see the benefits of moving beyond a structure/agency dichotomy that currently limits social and medical model understandings of disability. In particular, we draw on the work of Marcel Mauss and Pierre Bourdieu both of whom argued that social life can be better understood by considering the embodiment of individuals through their habitus. We draw on data generated in an interview-based study with 10 young disabled people to explore the ways in which family contributes to, and mediates, sporting tastes and interests. We consider two key questions: How do young disabled people negotiate relations within the family and in what ways do these relations influence sporting tastes and interests? To what extent are young disabled people able to use sport to generate and convert (valued) capital within the family and other related arenas?

“…Within counseling psychology, Delgado-Romero et al examined a subset of the literature from 1990 to 1999 and found African-American, Native American and Hispanic populations to be underrepresented in research samples [17]. Ali et al conducted a critical review of the childhood disability literature and found similar disparities [18]. To our knowledge, no comparable content analysis has been done in the disability and sexuality literature.…”

Disabilities impact individuals across all demographic groups, resulting in multiculturalism within the culture of disability. Several years ago researchers within the area of disabilities studies noted a tendency to overlook the cultural heterogeneity within their samples of individuals with disabilities and called for greater awareness. It is unclear to what degree research psychologists as well as other disciplines have heeded the call to adopt a cultural lens when studying populations with disabilities. A methodological and content review of sexuality and disability studies was conducted to evaluate how researchers are conceptualizing and presenting cultural data. Recent articles in four leading disability journals from 2002 to 2006 were reviewed, yielding 54 studies and over 11,000 participants. The content analysis found tremendous inconsistency in the collection style and reporting of cultural information (e.g. gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexual orientation). Results indicate ethnic minorities may continue to be under-recruited and understudied in the disability and sexuality literature.
