Abstract

Abstract: This article explores challenges and implications for researchers interested in embedding accessible and inclusive practices in research and global development initiatives. The author's experiences conducting research, and lessons learned from the '(Re)Building Inclusive Societies: Critical Reflections on Disability and Global Development' research project and conference, in combination with a survey of the literature regarding intersectionality, feminist reflexivity, disability theory and research in the global context, lead to a presentation of considerations and suggested strategies for researchers interested in developing a praxis that supports accessible and inclusive research with persons with disabilities.
