Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of digital communication provides endless opportunities for the collection and analysis of social data in novel ways. It also presents new and unanticipated challenges, as researchers are often inventing elements of their methodologies on the fly or studying a phenomenon or media platform for the first time. Research Exposed offers in-depth, behind-the-scenes accounts of doing empirical social science in this new paradigm. Through firsthand descriptions of innovative research projects, it shares lessons learned from over a dozen scholars’ cutting-edge work. These candid accounts describe what can go wrong when pioneering new genres of research and how such difficulties can be overcome, giving both big-picture reflection and actionable advice. The chapters discuss a variety of methods, ranging from the completely novel to the use of more traditional approaches in the digital context, and cover research questions relevant to a range of disciplines, including sociology, political science, communication, information studies, and anthropology. By focusing attention on the concrete details seldom discussed in final project write-ups or traditional research guides, Research Exposed helps equip junior and senior scholars alike with essential information that is all too often left with no outlet for sharing. It offers important insights into how empirical social science research can be both innovative and rigorous when dealing with the opportunities and challenges presented by digital media.

This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Book excerpt: This open access book presents the scientific views of some fifty experts on how they believe the COVID-19 pandemic is currently affecting society, and how it will continue to do so in the years to come. Using the concept of a “common” (in the sense of common values, common places, common goods, and common sense), they elaborate on the transition from an Old Common to a New Common. In carefully crafted chapters, the authors address expected shifts in major fields like health, education, finance, business, work, and citizenship, applying concepts from law, psychology, economics, sociology, religious studies, and computer science to do so. Many of the authors anticipate an acceleration of the digital transformation in the forthcoming years, but at the same time, they argue that a successful shift to a new common can only be achieved by re-evaluating life on our planet, strengthening resilience at an individual level, and assuming more responsibility at a societal level.

Book excerpt: In the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hungarian Government introduced distance learning at all levels of public education. The switch to digital education found the education system unprepared, as neither the devices nor the digital skills were in place to provide a sufficient learning level for students with special educational needs (SEN). Teachers often turned to offline solutions to manage the lack of digital devices or internet connectivity and distributed materials and homework on paper. Even where infrastructure was in place, digital teaching often involved materials and tasks being circulated via email. The most significant disadvantage for SEN students was the lack of live tutoring and group sessions. A group of professionals highlighted that the absence of movement skills development negatively affected SEN students' health (see Chapter 12 for more details). There is no COVID-related development in relation to independent living and the measures were not particularly taken for COVID. Support for independent living continues to have very limited coverage, and is unevenly developed across regions, particularly in rural areas. Basic social services are not tailored to the specific individual requirements of the persons concerned. Persons with disabilities requiring high levels of support and persons with autism appear to face major barriers in access to appropriate support in the community, putting them at risk of institutionalisation. The shortage of personnel providing support and the insufficient public financing of basic social services are particularly worrying (see Chapter 9 for more details). There has not been any initiative to reduce or prevent disability-related disadvantage in the field of work, including in policies on returning to the workplace. The biggest share of job losses was in the public sector, where disabled people are over-represented, but we do not yet have any estimates, based on either empirical or anecdotal evidence, as to the possible impact of their exposure to the employment loss consequences of COVID-19 (see Chapter 13 for more details).

Book excerpt: In the spring of 2020, the public initiatives in relation to COVID-19 consisted of a rapid closure of many functions in society, which stopped the first wave of the pandemic. This first closure took place on 11 March, when 10 persons were in hospital with COVID-19 and 1 300 in quarantine. As the pandemic had not really taken hold, it caused the first wave to be cut off with a maximum of 535 in hospital on the 1 April 2020. After just over a month, the government took initiatives to involve the civil society in the decision process in the form of so-called sector partnerships. As a result, the opening up and the following closure in the second wave in the autumn of 2020 became more nuanced and took also smaller groups such as groups of people with disabilities into account. Initially, there was a lack of protective equipment and the test capacity was small because the health system, in spite of several warnings from researchers over the past two decades, was not prepared for a pandemic to come. Therefore, the first shutdown had to be done with very rough means. The second shutdown in the autumn 2020 was more gradual and with more regard to people with disabilities.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have spread to all areas of human life, altering the way we interact, crippling economies and bringing about profound changes in societies. The pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated the major structural gaps in the region, and it is clear that the costs of inequality have become unsustainable and that it is necessary to rebuild with equality and sustainability, aiming for the creation of a true welfare state, long overdue in the region.

It sheds light on the experience of life as an individual with disabilities, as told by none other than authors with these life experiences. It's an eye-opening collection that readers will revisit time and time again.” —Chicago Tribune One in five people in the United States lives with a disability. Some disabilities are visible, others less apparent—but all are underrepresented in media and popular culture. Activist Alice Wong brings together this urgent, galvanizing collection of contemporary essays by disabled people, just in time for the thirtieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, From Harriet McBryde Johnson’s account of her debate with Peter Singer over her own personhood to original pieces by authors like Keah Brown and Haben Girma; from blog posts, manifestos, and eulogies to Congressional testimonies, and beyond: this anthology gives a glimpse into the rich complexity of the disabled experience, highlighting the passions, talents, and everyday lives of this community. It invites readers to question their own understandings. It celebrates and documents disability culture in the now. It looks to the future and the past with hope and love.

Book excerpt: As stated by the UN, persons with disabilities are particularly vulnerable in many areas as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In France, the on-going health crisis does not allow for the provision of precise data on the situation, especially in relation to persons with disabilities, as measures and initiatives in response to the crisis are too recent to be evaluated accurately in terms of impact. Some are still on-going, and existing figures and data may not reflect the changes inherent in such a rapidly evolving context. However, the existing information allows for a description of initiatives and measures taken to safeguard the rights of persons with disabilities since the COVID-19 crisis started at the beginning of 2020. This report builds on information and data provided by different sources including the various ministries (Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sports; the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Economic Inclusion; the Ministry of Solidarity and Health; and the State Secretariat for People with Disabilities), and: - Policy-making bodies such as the National Advisory Council for Persons with Disabilities (Conseil national consultatif des personnes handicapées - CNCPH); - The Court of Audit (Cour des Comptes); - The Defender of Rights (Le Défenseur des droits) (the French ombudsperson) ; - NGOs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the COVID-19 public health emergency has had disastrous health impacts for people with disabilities, it remains unclear what impact the associated economic recession and subsequent recovery have had on disability employment. Objective: We evaluated employment trends for people with and without disabilities over the course of the COVID-19 recession and subsequent economic recovery, both overall and by occupational category (essential, non-essential, teleworkable, non-teleworkable, frontline, nonfrontline). We made use of data from the nationally representative Current Population Survey. Linear probability models were used to estimate percent changes in employment-to-population ratios and identify differences between disabled and non-disabled employment in each quarter broadly and within specific occupational categories. As the COVID-19 recession began in Q2 2020, people with disabilities experienced employment losses that were proportionately similar to those experienced by people without disabilities. However, during the subsequent economic recovery, the employment rate of people with disabilities has grown more quickly in Q4 2021 through Q2 2022, driven by increased labor force participation. These employment gains have been concentrated in teleworkable, essential, and non- frontline occupations. Our findings suggest that people with disabilities are disproportionately benefiting from the rapid recovery from the initial economic contraction at the start of the pandemic.

Book excerpt: The main disaster and recovery planning plans and policies pay almost no attention to people with disabilities. A broad category of people deemed 'less able to take care of themselves' are referred to in all disaster planning as a group to take into account but without specifying who belongs to this group and exactly how disaster planners should plan for eventualities for this group. Emergency information was not made fully accessible for people with disabilities before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic led to active policies by the National Government to make emergency information more fully accessible. A few months into the pandemic disabled people's organisations pressured the National Government to formulate a specific COVID-19 strategy plan especially for people with disabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chronicle of ableism and disability activism in New York City during the COVID-19 pandemic How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic is the first book to document the experiences of those hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City—disabled people. Diverse disability communities across the five boroughs have been disproportionately impacted by city and national policies, work and housing conditions, stigma, racism, and violence—as much as by the virus itself. Disabled and chronically-ill activists have protested plans for medical rationing and refuted the eugenic logic of mainstream politicians and journalists who “reassure” audiences that only older people and those with disabilities continue to die from COVID-19. At the same time, as exemplified by the viral hashtag #DisabledPeopleToldYou, disability expertise has become widely recognized in practices such as accessible remote work and education, quarantine, and distributed networks of support and mutual aid. This edited volume charts the legacies of this “mass disabling event” for uncertain viral futures, exploring the dialectic between disproportionate risk and the creativity of a disability justice response. How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic includes contributions by wide-ranging disability scholars, writers, and activists whose research and lived experiences chronicle the pandemic’s impacts in prisons, migrant detention centers, Chinatown senior centers, hospitals in Queens and the Bronx, working from bed in Brooklyn, subways, schools, housing shelters, social media, and other locations of public and private life. By focusing on New York City over the course of three years, the book reveals key themes of the pandemic, including hierarchies of disability vulnerability, the deployment of disability as a tool of population management, and innovative crip pandemic cultural production. How to Be Disabled in a Pandemic honors those lost, as well as those who survived, by calling for just policies and caring infrastructures, not only in times of crisis but for the long haul.
