  In Roundtable Session: Multimodal Approaches to Engaging the Perspectives and Experiences of Disabled Young People (Table 26)

Abstract

The field of education research has often neglected the expertise and voices of disabled students (Connor, 2008; Mueller, 2019). This paper outlines the potential of podcasting as a research methodology that challenges the status quo and facilitates inclusion of disabled students in conducting education research. The ways in which podcasting functions as an arts-based research method, alignment between Disability Studies in Education (Baglieri et al., 2011), and the parallel between Disability Justice principles (Berne et al., 2018) and podcasting are discussed.
