Researcher with a 'disability'
Using Foucaultian methodologies I am interested in exploring the production of negative ontologies of 'disability' and the ways in which 'disability'; is governed under neo-liberalism. Sites of governance include the applications of new technologies and the way they intersect with legal definitions of 'disability'. A strategy of disruption is my interest in 'desire' - a positive ontology of 'disability'. I am also interested in developing a renewed theology of disability.

My research is an examination of old age via the appropriation of Foucauldian insights. In particular, I am examining the poverty of social theory in the disciplinary subject matter of gerontology at one level of analysis; and secondly, to analyse the effects of professional social work practices on the lives and experiences of older people via community care assessment.

My own interest in this particular field is not primarily historical. I am not a historian, my background is in Social Policy and Social Work, and my concern is fuelled only by a commitment to understanding the contemporary field of 'intellectual disability'. My own research attempts to make sense of this as a nexus of power-knowledge relations, in the Foucauldian sense. I am specifically interested in the formation of the modern discourse on learning disability. If anyone else has a particular interest in this line of thinking I'd be very keen to hear from you. I finally finished my PhD in December 2000, Idiocy as a Regime of Truth: An Archaeology of Intellectual Disability in the work of Seguin, Ireland and Binet and Simon.
