Actions as an expression of ethics correspond with critical disability activism’s clarion call “nothing about us without us,” through which disabled people have attempted to gain agency and just representation for decades. The author of this chapter argues that chronically ill and disabled women have been under-theorized, and barely represented and analyzed in most feminist schools of thought. In fact, feminist philosophers, and academics in general, have been reluctant to address the injustices inflicted on ill and disabled women, rendering them more vulnerable and exposed to arbitrarily worded social policy and ensuing unintended negative consequences. This article offers several entry points from which to view social injustices inflicted on ill and disabled women. It opens debate abo...

She describes the multiple and reinforcing challenges she and others face as they try to find their place as full citizens in a society that has become confused about human value. Imagine that you become disabled by long-term or chronic illness; then imagine that your disability is hard to see or, even worse, disputed by powerful professionals with a vested interest in rejecting your reality. Imagine that you lose your status and role within a highly valued community; then imagine that it is near impossible to reconnect to family, friends, colleagues or even those who share your disability. People with ME often face these layers of interlocking injustices, and they find that the welfare state, rather than an ally is part of the problem. You can find hope in this essay. Social media, new forms of activism and learning and new forms of community life are all possible. But the troubling truth is that where injustice becomes invisible then the road to restoration is long and it challenges all of us.

She intended to introduce AR as a means of organisational learning in preschools throughout her municipality. There were no courses on offer but I was about to wrap up my doctoral thesis, which was rooted in (feminist) action research as a methodology. An emphatic dialogue on course design ensued, and in September 2009, a one-year part-time AR course started with initially thirty participants. Many challenges needed addressing. For one, the limiting context of higher education with its traditional stance on course work and modes of examination posed problems that called for pragmatic solutions that would still honour the participatory spirit of AR. Furthermore, I wanted to pay close attention to ethical and epistemological issues by incorporating these in the course syllabus and subject matter for AR. Also, my role as a teacher in HE needed continuous de-drama...
