Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- There have been numerous research studies stating the fact that the pandemic affected people with disabilities’ working lives. Less research has been conducted on how people with disabilities coped with and learned from these challenges. This scoping review maps research conducted in the field of disability research and multidisciplinary research, published from the outbreak of the pandemic until October 31, 2022. The focus is on how people with disabilities adapted their working lives to the conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and what working practices and strategies they applied to manage the situation. From an extensive search in bibliographic databases, eight research articles were identified. The review results reveal both challenges and new openings for the working life of people with disabilities post-pandemic. Implications for future research are identified, addressing intersectionality, hybrid work environments, digital gaps and increased participation of people with disabilities in research.

Challenging norms of crisis communication and preparedness by listening to voices from the (dis)ability movement in Sweden

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper presents the result of a survey study where representing members of the disability movement in Sweden have shared their experiences of living and acting during the first year of the Covid-19-pandemic. The aim was to identify crisis communication challenges and where additional communication material and methods are needed for supporting people in going from knowledge to taking action for achieving a higher level of crisis preparedness. The paper also includes a brief summary of a literature review of previous international research on disabilities and the Covid-19 pandemic. Three categories of crisis communication challenges were identified displaying a vulnerability in society and pointing towards several important knowledge gaps that ought to be addressed in order to achieve crisis preparedness among all people. The results indicate that there is a need for additional communication materials and methods that can be appropriated to individual needs, and dialogue methods between authorities and people in order to counteract normative assumptions in crisis communication aimed at different target groups.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The multidisciplinary research project “Working life during Covid-19 pandemic: social participation, learning experiences, design opportunities and future work life for people with disabilities” aims to explore how experiences gained from the Covid-19 pandemic can improve the conditions for people with various forms of disabilities to participate in and contribute to working life. The project builds on a collaboration with a network of stakeholders from organisations representing people with disabilities and assumes a participatory research and design research approach where prototyping and design activities are part of the iterative research process. This is manifested by inviting our stakeholders to be part of an exploratory collaborative (co-)design process where new knowledge is generated through various design-oriented activities. The research and design process consists of three exploratory phases (Discover, Define, Develop), and one concluding phase (Deliver). In this presentation, we will present insights gained from the first two phases of the design and research process. 23 people with various disabilities (motor, visual, hearing, neuropsychiatric impairments) were interviewed about their working life. Based on the interviews, we developed an understanding of what strategies they used to adapt to the pandemic situation, and how they handled stressful situations. The participants were also asked to describe and document their workplaces, a typical working day, and what role tools and technologies played in achieving or preventing full participation in working life. By analysing their individuals' stories, different strategies for coping with the situation were identified, and which of these strategies have proven to be more or less successful to apply in working life. These insights may contribute to designing work conditions for people with disabilities to partake in future working life, which is characterised by inclusion and social participation on equal terms.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The issue that we seek to address deals with inclusion and how voices of people with disabilities can be listened to and presented in participatory research. We recently initiated a project that aims to explore in what ways the experiences gained from distance work during the Covid-19 pandemic can contribute to improving the conditions for people with various forms of disabilities to participate in and contribute to working life. The project is characterised by action research and design research, which implies that the knowledge generated will also result in new proposals on how working life for people with disabilities can be organised and facilitated. Due to Covid-19, an earlier pilot project (2020-2022), had to conduct participatory research as remote, online workshops together with representatives from disability organisations. In this paper, we ask what validity such a method has as an alternative to face-to-face workshops even after the pandemic. Is there a benefit to using online workshops over physical gatherings? What new forms of inclusions and exclusions are potentially created? Can working with representatives from disability organisations bridge potential ethical and practical barriers for participation, including demands on time? To what extent are the representatives able to represent their members’ perspectives in this particular situation? How valid is this suggested method, and what other alternatives have been used in remote participatory research to learn from? We conclude with suggested directions for method innovation for remote participatory research.
