My chapter in a new volume on Disability Ethics Research will be out September 2nd. The focus, obviously, is disability data.

Abstract

The goal of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is to secure the rights of persons with disabilities as full and equal members of society. Achieving these objectives requires appropriate and high-quality data for identifying disability gaps and areas of exclusion. Such data can be then used to develop policies and programmes to address that exclusion, and then to monitor and evaluate their effectiveness. However, researchers and policy makers face a number of challenges when collecting this data. This chapter reviews the various approaches to collecting data on disability, identifying potential sources of relevant data, including through surveys and repurposing of data collated for administrative means. It discusses at length the legal and ethical issues involved in their collection and use for alternative purposes, providing a comprehensive exploration of issues relating to participation, privacy, big data and rights of access. It concludes by suggesting ways forward for creating disability data systems that can fully support efforts to achieve a fully inclusive society.

We are opening up our applications for next year's fellowship program that will begin in October. It is open to people with disabilities from low and middle income countries early in their careers who want to pursue a career in policy analysis. The deadline for applications is July 31.

Our fellowship program provides financial support, exposure to global discourse and developments in the policy landscape, and mentoring to people who are actively working on issues of inclusive policy or policy research in support of the rights of people with disabilities as put forth in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

We believe that successful advocacy and policy change hinge on the ability to gather and analyze all types of data – quantitative, qualitative, legislative, financial – to provide a strong evidence base for policy change and that it is of fundamental importance that people of disabilities from low and middle income countries be at the center of these efforts.
