“…The IL movement revises common definitions of independence but it still maintains it as an important, if not paramount, social value. In some ways IL obscures the “inevitable dependencies” of life (Kittay ), although as I argue elsewhere (Kelly ), it does not eliminate these dependencies as thoroughly as critics of IL imply. In any case, IL includes an emphasis on autonomous decision‐making, which can be exclusionary toward people who need assistance to make decisions or who do not use verbal communication.…”

This article uses elements of autoethnography to theorize an in/formal support relationship between a friend with a physical disability, who uses attendant services, and me. Through thinking about our particular “frien‐tendant” relationship, I find the common scholarly orientations toward “care” are inadequate. Starting from the conversations between feminist and disability perspectives on care, I build on previous work to further develop the theoretical framework of accessible care. Accessible care takes a critical, engaged approach that moves beyond understanding “accessibility” as merely concrete solutions to create more inclusive forms of care. Care, in this context, is positioned as an unstable tension among competing definitions, including that it is a complex form of oppression. Accessible care draws on feminist disability perspectives and the feminist political ethic of care to build bridges in four areas: from daily experiences of disability and support to theoretical discussions; across feminist care research and disability perspectives; across divisions and anxieties within disability communities; and from the local to transnational applications. These bridges do not aim to resolve debates but allow us to travel back and forth between differing perspectives and demonstrate the tenuous possibility of accessible practices and concepts of care.

“…In writing our research statements, we found it helpful to “read one, write one”—that is, read successful research proposals available from our department—familiarizing ourselves with routine ways of phrasing or organizing them. We also read several other dissertations to get a sense of how other graduate students framed and designed their projects (Fairbairn 2015; Hampton 2016; Kelly 2012; Nichols 2011; Rudrum 2014)—for example, by aligning one's research questions with one's research design, breaking one's methods into phases or engaging multiple methods to highlight the diverse ways that social relations manifest. Orienting to others’ work was useful, as one challenge with proposal writing was expressing the particularities of our engaged, feminist projects compared to other research approaches.…”

Seeking to support graduate students in engaging in feminist sociological research, we provide guidance on “working the project”—working collaboratively and creatively to foster compassion and solidarity as we bring diverse research projects to fruition. We offer reflections on our everyday experiences and struggles as emerging feminist researchers, including with writing research proposals. We also include four condensed research proposals ‐ on the social organization of care work, sex work, criminal justice, and abortion care ‐ to support fellow students in the process. Spurring collaborative, fun and inclusive ways of working, we speak to feminist scholar‐activists who may require additional support in navigating the social relations of academe, while contributing to collective projects of investigating and remaking the social organization of everyday life.

“…At no point did I feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Rather, each time I was invited into a participant's home I was cautiously reminded that I sat on the "precarious edge" of being an insider (Kelly 2012). Prior to the commencement of the interview, each woman was provided a consent form that further explained the purpose of my research, issues of confidentiality and informed consent.…”

'Celebrating Cancer': Young Women Negotiating the Cultural Politics of Survivorship

This thesis begins with a critical observation that over the past decade, Canadians have witnessed an explosion of discussions in the public sphere about cancer and survivorship, including the celebration of cancer survivors. The proliferation of cancer/survivor discourses circulates expectations about how cancer should be taken on and embodied. There is an urgent need to investigate the effects of such discourses on young women's (a) access to state and community resources, (b) constructions of health, risk and wellbeing, and (c) personal accounts of their bodies and illness experiences. Drawing on 17 in-depth interviews with young female cancer survivors, this thesis investigates the effects of dominant cancer/survivor discourses on the social and material contexts of young women's cancer experiences. I argue that young women's cancer narratives are embedded in discourses of exclusion and responsibilization that actively shape and define what it means to be a 'good' survivor/citizen.
