Theoretical dimensions for interrogating the intersection of disability, immigration and social work

Abstract

This article proposes theoretical dimensions to examine the intersection of disability and immigration. These dimensions bring together knowledge from critical disability studies and postcolonial theories to inform a social justice orientation to social work practice on issues of immigration and disability. The article describes three interrelated themes that bring these theoretical dimensions together: (a) knowledge production and dominance in terms of North/South power dynamics and relations, (b) the construction and processes of Othering and how these shape the experiences of people with disabilities in immigration and (c) resistance to these constructions of Othering.
