The Intersectional Effects of Disability and Social Class on Early Adulthood, 2024

The Intersectional Effects of Disability and Social Class on Early Adulthood is a 24-month British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grant (November 2022-October 2024).

Following an intersectional approach, the project seeks to disentangle the social process implicated in the (re)production of disability-related educational and occupational disadvantage experienced by disabled young people. The project takes a qualitative approach and involves biographical interviews with working class disabled young people aged 18-31 years old.

This project’s overarching aim is to produce evidence that can be used to understand and address educational and occupational barriers faced by working class disabled young people.
