Ⅰ．1. Topics and Contribution to the Global COE Program Ars Vivendi
(1)Topics, Objectives and Impacts
◆Topics
Our project is planning to establish/develop a theoretical/study field which involves such study fields as welfare and education over disabilities and becomes the foundation of their discussions through theoretical and practical research on "disability and society." In order to do so, each project member presents his/her research achievements based on his/her interest and then have discussions with other members. In this way, we aims at our particiapnts' deepening their concerns more and contributing to the development of disability studies.
◆Objectives
So far there have been some students who conduct research on disability studies individually at the Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences. However, many of them focused on theoretical/practical research viewed from service suppliers, such as welfare for disabled people, education for disabled children, and rehabilitation, and there were few viewpoints of disabled people themselves, or those of the relationship between disabled people themselves and society. Thus, we believe it is necessary to set up an opportunity for researchers interested in such views or relationship to gather, present their research achievements, and have discussions. That is why we organize ourselves as a "project led by graduate students at Ars Vivendi" and apply for some grants.
◆Impacts
We differentiate the service supplier-centered study which focuses on disabled people by reporting, discussing and inverstigating on research viewed from disabled people themselves. This enables us to seek a possibility of development of disability studies. For example, in the field of education for disabled children although inclusive education is important, it has not become a reality because of the opinion that it is for disabled people themselves since learning together is not necessarily good for disabled poeple themselves. Also, in the field of welfare, many disabled people have been forced to live their lives under institutions and families since 1970s because of the environment in spite of independent living etc. Therefore, it is possible to seek a possibility of disability studies that has been covered by the framework of the study targeted for disabled people in the past.
(2)Research Plan, Method and Publication of Research Products
Ars Vivendi can be said to be an academic project which aims at reconstructing existing studies from the viewpoint of the involved persons with illness and disability. In this sense, this project, which aims at the development of disability studies, matches issues of Ars Vivendi Program.
Also, research our program members have been conducted originally should be clarified with connected and systemized matually.
However, previous research our members had conducted was not made with matually connected each other.If this project is adopted, it is expected that members discuss these themes enough and conduct new research with each research connected matually.
