Chronic Illness & Citizenship

Lead: Catherine Hale
With: Stef Benstead

This research project, which has been supported by the lottery funded DRILL project, aims to explore:

How do people with chronic illness interpret the social model of disability?
What does independent living mean for people who are excluded from participation due to severe illness?
Can we mobilise the online chronic illness movement into a public platform for better representation and influence?
What are the priorities of people with chronic illness for social change?
What are the possibilities and obstacles for people with chronic illness to participate in disability rights movements?
