Episode description:
In this episode, Prof. Jackie Leach Scully chats with Dr Emily Gaspar, a Fulbright scholar at Deakin University visiting from Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina. Emily shares her research, which builds on her PhD research project conducted in the US, which aims to explore the employment experiences of disability services practitioners, who identify as disabled, and work at institutions of higher education in Australia. The comparative research looks to build knowledge around how to enable greater inclusive and accessible campuses. Emily also shares her approach to the qualitative research method, Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and discusses the role of disability justice in her work.
