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

• “Norm-creative crisis preparedness” is a research project aiming to explore and co-design communication strategies and methods for supporting crisis preparedness and responses before and during times of crisis. This proposed poster presents the result from a survey study where representing members of the disability movement in Sweden have shared their experiences of living and acting in a pandemic. This material can inform a novel perspective of what it means for people with various kinds of disabilities to live with and through a crisis and how they can be supported by the right crisis response. By listening to voices from the (dis)ability movement the project strives at going beyond a normative view of what constitutes crisis preparedness and explores what we can learn from people whose everyday lives have always been characterized by extraordinary circumstances. The project is strongly informed by and protects human rights of people with disabilities with all that implies of matters of equality, inclusion and justice.
