Many thanks to Harriet Clarke for this testimonial for 'Disabling Capitalism: A Critical Inquiry Into Work, Productivism and Disablement' - due to be published with @brisunipress.bsky.social in early 2027 & can be preordered now. #Capitalism #Disability #DisabilityResearch #NewBook
''Disabling Capitalism offers compelling research underpinning a vital political analysis of how 'welfare' policies and economic structures and practices organise work, work that can be unseen, unpaid and unequally valued. 

By centring the lived experiences of disabled people navigating on-demand labour, Chis challenges the persistent (and harmful) belief that work-centric policy is inherently benign. Her bold contribution opens up new ways of understanding work and disability, and invites us to imagine more hopeful futures.''

COVID-19 can feel like a painful memory, but many still feel the effects today. IN•GAUGE, a youth-focused research program, is conducting a study on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of Canadian youth. Canadian aged 15 to 25? Check out the article: uoguel.ph/youth #Covid19 #MentalHealth
Promotional poster for a Canadian research study titled “Youth wellbeing in Canada & COVID-19.” The design features a light background with green text. At the center, a magnifying glass highlights an illustrated brain that has a blue COVID face mask attached to it, with small virus shapes and flowers surrounding it; a small Canadian flag appears on the brain signifying the target demographic. The headline “NEW RESEARCH STUDY” appears above, and below the graphic reads “Have your voice heard!” followed by bullet points: “Take part in interviews,” “Participate in photovoice activities,” “Create drawings, collages, videos.” At the bottom, a rounded banner states eligible participants are: “Youth aged 15–25 across Canada!”
