“…She was also a graduate student with research interests in disability sport, disability studies, and social theory, which she undertook from a poststructuralist philosophical perspective: that is, a perspective that does not claim to be able to get at the truth, but rather, to interrogate the social processes through which objectivity and truth are constructed (Andrews, 2000). Through this collaboration, we are exploring the potential for collaboration among researchers with differing worldviews and responding to the call for greater involvement of people who experience disability as research collaborators in the field of APA (Bredahl, 2008;DePauw, 2000). The products of this collaboration are revealed in the design of this study, in that the original research design and guiding theoretical lens reflect the research perspective of the first researcher, while the more open-ended questions, the interpretations, and the writing of this paper reflect a complicated yet we believe productive interworldview dialogue.…”

“…The collaborative approach we employed in this study involved the exchange, consideration, and application of outsider and insider perspectives and different worldviews. In discussing ethical aspects of research in APA, Bredahl (2008) explored some of the benefits and challenges of involving people with disabilities in APA research. Similarly, the advantages and disadvantages of drawing from multiple perspectives in research have also been considered (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007).…”

“…In considering future directions for research in APA, we strongly advocate for the type of collaborative approach we employed in our study. This type of approach can lead to the exploration of new topics of research that are most relevant to those who experience disability (Bredahl, 2008) as well as the use of innovative approaches to answering questions. This approach also resonates very well with the philosophy of inclusion put forward in the field of APA.…”

“What’s the Difference?” Women’s Wheelchair Basketball, Reverse Integration, and the Question(ing) of Disability

The inclusion of able-bodied athletes within disability sport, a phenomenon known as reverse integration, has sparked significant debate within adapted physical activity. Although researchers and practitioners have taken up positions for or against reverse integration, there is a lack of supporting research on the experiences of athletes who already play in such settings. In this study, we explore how competitive female athletes who have a disability experience reverse integration in Canadian wheelchair basketball. Athletic identity was used as the initial conceptual framework to guide semistructured interviews with nine participants. The results suggest that participation in this context contributed to positive athletic identities. Interviews also pointed to the unexpected theme of “what’s the difference?” that this sporting context provided a space for the questioning and creative negotiation of the categories of disability and able-bodiedness. Methodologically, this paper also explores the possibilities and challenges of inter- worldview and insider-outsider research collaboration.

Krop og handicap – deltagelse i sociale fællesskaber

Mennesker med handicap deltager i markant mindre grad end den gennemsnitlige befolkning på alle områder, der kendetegner et almindeligt hverdagsliv i Danmark. Denne artikel bygger på en fænomenologisk undersøgelse af, hvorvidt mennesker med fysisk funktionsnedsættelse gennem deltagelse i idræt lærer noget, der forandrer den måde, de deltager i andre sociale og samfundsmæssige sammenhænge. Undersøgelsens metoder er livhistoriske narrative interviews og observationer af, hvordan personerne deltager i forskellige sociale praksisser i deres hverdagsliv. Artiklens fokus er kroppens betydning for personernes deltagelse i sociale fællesskaber, og hvordan færdigheder udvikles i bevægelse mellem de forskellige sociale praksisser. For mennesker med fysisk funktionsnedsættelse opstår et misforhold mellem krop og omgivelser, der begrænser deres mulighed for deltagelse. Empirien viser, hvordan dette misforhold udviskes ved, at de sociale omgivelser arrangerer og koordinerer konteksten, så personerne kan deltage med deres aktuelle kropslige forudsætninger. Det indebærer, at de glemmer kroppen, hvilket giver dem mulighed for at rette deres opmærksomhed ud mod omgivelserne og udvikle deres del- tagelse. Denne vekselvirkning mellem optimalt tilrettelagte omgivelser og kroppen selv ser ud til at befordre deltagelse. Det er betegnende for disse personer, at de er aktive på tværs af mange forskellige kontekster i den verden, de lever i, og de udnytter i disse sammenhænge de muligheder, der er for at bruge og udvikle deres færdigheder. Idrætten tillægges særlig betydning som en kropslig orienteret kontekst, hvor man kan høste erfaringer, som kan tages med ind i andre kontekster og føre til udvidede handlemuligheder. Oplevelsen af kroppens kunnen sættes her centralt. Artiklen peger på betydningen af sociale fællesskaber og særlig tilrettelæggelse, når deltagelse i hverdagens sammenhænge skal kunne glide for mennesker med fysisk handicap. Afsluttende rejses derfor spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt ideen om støtte til sociale fællesskaber ville være et alternativ til de individuelt rettede kompenseringer, der aktuelt kendetegner de sociale foranstaltninger til mennesker med fysisk handicap.

“…The negative connotation of some terminology still used today such as "special populations" can be seen as an example of govermentality as can the excessive financial investment in mainstream sports and activities and correspondent insufficient investment in new formats and opportunities, more in consonance with a broad range of different abilities (Nixon, 2007). Some examples from other settings: in rehabilitation, the tyranny of "independence" goals (Goodwin, 2008) and the development of it as a business (Albrecht, 1992); in the world of academia, the neglect of reflection on the social implications and ethical value of some research projects (Bredahl, 2008); in elite disability sport contexts, the reinforcement of some "disability sport ghettos" (Howe, 2008;Mastro, Burton, Rosendahl, & Sherrill, 1996) and the social control attached to classification processes (Howe & Jones, 2006;Wu, Williams, & Sherrill, 2000).…”

Difference, Adapted Physical Activity and Human Development: Potential Contribution of Capabilities Approach

This paper is a call to Adapted Physical Activity (APA) professionals to increase the reflexive nature of their practice. Drawing upon Foucault’s concept of governmentality (1977) APA action may work against its own publicized goals of empowerment and self-determination. To highlight these inconsistencies, we will draw upon historical and social factors that explain the implicit dangers of practice not following policy. We propose that APA practitioners work according to ethical guidelines, based upon a capabilities approach (Nussbaum, 2006, 2011; Sen, 2009) to counteract possible adverse effects of APA practitioner action. A capabilities approach is conducive to the development of each individual’s human potential, by holistically considering the consequences of physical activity (i.e., biological, cultural, social, and psychological dimensions). To conclude, this paper will offer suggestions that may lead to an ethical reflection aligned with the best interest of APA’s users.
