“…Increased consideration of psycho-emotional disablism in cultural institutions is paramount to the inclusion of people with impairments that may remain invisible, such as those who experience social anxiety or are diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. Grounded in ableist stereotypes, stigma and negative judgement (Fox et al 2016;Gee et al 2012), social anxiety can create a barrier between individuals and social situations (Werner et al 2012) as well as negatively impacting individuals' capacity to gain and sustain employment (Tolman et al 2009). Anxiety, which is commonly experienced as a comorbidity of other impairments (Fehm et al 2008;Kroenke et al 2007), can lead to internalised oppression in which an individual applies the cultural norms of a dominant ideology to themselves, devaluing their individual embodied and lived experiences, as Pentzell (2010) notes: I think it's very difficult for anyone who has been repeatedly stereotyped to escape fully society's pressure to conform to stereotypes, nor (when our resistance is fragile) can we hide from our self-doubts that whisper that the negative things people have said to and about us are true or that somehow we deserve to be second-class citizens The disabling stare (Garland-Thomson 2009;Goffman 1963) and experiences of internalised oppression derived from ableist stereotypes and stigma highlight the important distinction between accessibility and inclusivity.…”

Sonic Accessibility: Increasing Social Equity Through the Inclusive Design of Sound in Museums and Heritage Sites

Sound and hearing effect everyone, they are not niche issues. Within the inherently multimodal experience of a museum, sound plays a crucial role in defining whether an environment is inclusive or exclusive. Yet sonic accessibility ‐ the multiplicity of ways that sound influences accessibility and social equity ‐ remains under researched in design and narrowly represented in access legislation. This paper charts the contours of sonic exclusion in museums and other heritage sites around three central themes. The first considers the existing relationship between Inclusive Design and sound and introduces the emerging paradigm of ‘auraldiversity’. The second considers the structural sonic barriers that operate outside of the individual in their experience of the museum environment. The final theme attends to the psycho‐emotional sonic disablement experienced by many d/Deaf and disabled people within cultural institutions. The paper serves as a furthering of opportunity to reverse the hegemony of auditory norms within museums and other heritage sites and positions sonic accessibility as a critical pillar in the expanding understanding of the multimodal museum.

“…Second, researchers have proposed that at least some people with SAD show an atypical pattern of angry, impulsive, or risky behavior (Kashdan, McKnight, Richey, & Hofmann, 2009). Conflating social anxiety with pervasive inhibition and even oddity seems to be a persistent stereotype (Fox, Fernandez, Rodebaugh, Menatti, & Weeks, 2016) that clinicians and researchers should avoid. The fact that SAD is correlated with such personality characteristics does not mean that everyone with SAD is uniformly shy and behaviorally inhibited in all situations.…”

A traditional start to this chapter might emphasize that anxiety disorders are common: Lifetime prevalence in adults in the United States for any anxiety disorder is estimated to exceed 20%, causing widespread suffering and impairment (Kessler, Petukhova, Sampson, Zaslavsky, & Wittchen, 2012; excluding disorders no longer considered anxiety disorders). Alternatively, we might take the well-worn tack that anxiety disorders are a significant public health burden that leads to vast economic expenditures in the United States and worldwide (Baxter, Vos, Scott, Ferrari, & Whiteford, 2014;Kessler & Greenberg, 2002). Yet another alternative would be to cite continued controversies in regard to the anxiety disorders; for example, whether it is really the case that some treatments for them are better than others (Siev & Chambless, 2007;Wampold, 2006). Indeed, once one accepts that there is a set of anxiety disorders, it is not difficult to find evidence that these disorders are associated with considerable distress, impairment, economic cost, and increased mortality as well as controversy regarding what should be done about their negative effects.However, starting this chapter traditionally would sidestep an essential issue: What, precisely, are anxiety disorders? A related issue involves how we understand psychopathology generally: How do we describe and define an anxiety disorder? We believe it is essential to answer this (admittedly somewhat abstract) question to frame the remainder of the chapter. Furthermore, what, if anything, determines that the anxiety disorders, as currently defined, should be grouped together? That is, what are the anxiety disorders, as a group?
