Abstract

There have been increasing calls within critical disability
studies to move beyond ethnocentric Global North or Western interpretive lenses, especially when doing work in countries that have historically been oppressed by such cultures. Dominant interpretive lenses rarely embrace the unique cultural nuances and social structures of the community under study such that meaningful, socially-just change is not possible. In this paper, we propose that cultural praxis
(based on the work of Paulo Freire) could be a necessary paradigmatic shift toward amplifying disability research beyond ethnocentrism and toward culturally reflexive and relevant study. We show how we developed this methodological process through conceptual representations of our evolved thought, author reflections and theoretical groundings. We invite dialogue from colleagues invested in socially-just research, and hope this approach begins further conversations and methods for doing meaningful, culturally specific work to achieve cultural praxis in physical education and wider realms of critical disability studies.
