Thematic Focus: People with Disabilities & Older People

New open access book:

Disability and Aid: An Ethnography of Logics and Practices of Distribution in a Ugandan Refugee Camp (Brill, Nov. 2023) [open access]

- "At a time when rights are increasingly placed on the humanitarian agenda, this book provides a unique ethnographic account of the dynamics of aid to disabled people in a Ugandan refugee camp. By unraveling the complexities of social, material and institutional interdependencies, the author invites us to rethink conventional notions of dependence and vulnerability. Exploring issues of personhood as they relate to the exchange of material goods and care, the book offers a thought-provoking perspective on the seemingly promising shift towards a rights-based approach. A compelling read for anyone seeking to reshape the humanitarian agenda."
