Rebecca Fish<\/h4>\n

Rebecca Fish<\/strong> is a Lecturer working in the Sociology Department. Rebecca has worked with people with learning disabilities for 19 years and has led projects that include both service users and staff as participants. The majority of her research looks at experiences of living and working in inpatient units, exploring staff and service-user accounts of the institutional response to \u2018challenging behaviour\u2019. A notable area of her research has been experiences of self-harm, both from staff and service-user perspectives. In 2000 she won an NHS R&D bid for 45k to extend this research, and support service-users to record and publish their experiences. The research filled a gap in knowledge in this area and features extensively in the NICE systematic review of evidence in their guidance for the longer-term management of self-harm. Rebecca\u2019s PhD research used ethnography to explore how the intersection of gender and disability influences women\u2019s experiences of living on locked wards and made recommendations for changes to policy and practice. Her current project explores the provision of accessible health information in Primary Care. Overall, her research has informed policy, procedure and training with the aim of improving the experiences of people with learning disabilities<\/p>\n

Imogen Tyler<\/h4>\n

Imogen Tyler\u00a0<\/strong>is Professor in the Department of Sociology. She\u00a0researches social inequalities, power, injustice and resistance. Her work is concerned with how inequalities are measured and classified, the ways in which inequalities are reproduced & resisted and the kinds of subjectivities and identities which are constituted through unequal social relations. In terms of disability studies, Imogen is particularly interested in the history\u00a0of disability, in disability welfare\u00a0and in\u00a0changing classifications of disability. The recognition of disability as \u2018a problem\u2019 of government emerged in tandem with the rise of industrial capitalism and the emergence of the welfare state.\u00a0Contemporary understandings of disability where forged in social and political conflicts around the distributive criteria of welfare (Stone, 1986), and rights based claims for equality. Today, disabled people and their families in Britain are currently living through the most severe cuts to state funded services of any group at any time in the history of the welfare state. Imogen is\u00a0interested in examining how this transformation in disability welfare signals a deeper shift in the cultural political economy of disability. For example, while the state is contracting disability as an administrative category, to reduce the \u2018fiscal burden\u2019 of disabled people, austerity is growing disabled populations. Inequalities, as social scientists have evidenced, harm people and make them sick. Imogen is interested in\u00a0the features of the current \u00a0\u2018disability epidemic\u2019: escalating levels of mental and physical ill-health; the rising mortality rate of disabled and elderly people; the depletion of peoples capacity for unpaid care in the face of welfare conditionally; the erosion of legal redress; and fraying accountability structures.<\/p>\n

Imogen has a particular interest in the political struggles of\u00a0learning disabled people and their families for adequate medical and social care and resources, and she\u00a0has written on the #justiceforlb movement ‘Connor Sparrowhawk: the erosion of accountability and the administrative grotesque<\/a>‘ (2016).Imogen has previously been funded by the EU (framework 7), the ESRC and the Leverhulme Trust, and\u00a0in 2015 was awarded a\u00a0Philip Leverhulme Prize . Books include Revolting\u00a0Subjects: Social Abjection and Resistance in Neoliberal Britain <\/a>(2013),\u00a0Immigrant Protest<\/a> (2014), and Stigma Nation (in progress).<\/p>\n
