Ethnicity, Disability, and Chronic Illness

For practitioners in the caring professions and in public policy on health and social services, researchers then at the Ethnicity and Social Policy Research Unit at the University of Bradford, England, explore the experience of minority ethnic people with disability and chronic illness. They examine the conceptualization of the conditions and the implications of particular definitions, everyday living, and role of services in providing support to disabled people and carers. In the theoretical realm, they question distinctions between users and carers, and between the social model of disability and the more individual medical discourses.
