Abstract

This article is an elaboration of a key‐note speech presented at the annual conference of the Nordic Network on Disability Research in Copenhagen 2001 discussing the role of theory in disability research. The discussion is based on reviews of disability research, mostly from Scandinavia and Britain. Two types of non‐theoretical perspectives and three types of theoretical perspectives were found in the reviews. Strengths and weaknesses of the different perspectives are discussed and a typical Scandinavian perspective is identified.

  • Different variants of interactionist approach to disability hold in common the implication that remedial efforts can take place on both individual and institutional levels.

    “Different variants on this sort of interactionist approach to disability exist, such as Scandinavian interactionist models of disability (see Gustavsson, 2004; Tøssebro, 2004), social-relational approaches (see Reindal, 2008; Thomas, 2004), and Chapman’s (2021) social-ecological model, but they hold in common the implication that remedial efforts can take place on both individual and institutional”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
