Collaborative disability-inclusive research and evaluation as a practical justice process

People with disabilities lay claim to equality in universities and colleges yet remain under-represented as researchers. One approach to righting this injustice is to critically examine research practices and develop structural and relational responses that demonstrate alternative approaches to inclusive practice. This chapter explores how collaboration with people with disabilities and the organisations that represent them is transforming the practice and impact of research. We use examples of research studies initiated by community partners and government to illustrate how the approach changes the questions asked, the methods employed, and the way the results are used.
