Accessible Equality:Collaborative Ethics,Reflexive Perspective and Empowering Actions in Disability Communication Activism Research
Taking a communication activism research of deaf-hearing collaboration as a case,this paper analyzes the academic practice at three levels,namely,collaboration ethics,reflexive perspective,and empowering actions,to delve deeper into how the ethical principles of disability research can be integrated into collaborative communication activism research.First,research needs to move beyond ableist research methods and adopt accessible research designs that allow people who are easily excluded from surveys to enter the research agenda.Second,in a collaborative deaf-hearing research model,hearing researchers need to maintain their own subjectivity and research independence,but also respect the deaf's subjectivity and insider perspectives,drawing on reflexivity to transcend ableism research perspectives.Finally,the goal of communication action research is not only to study digital inequalities,but also to avoid reproducing existing inequalities,to create mutually empowering collaborative relationships,and to conduct public communication to raise public awareness and promote the possibility of collective empowerment at the societal level.
