| Abstract: |
The article discusses the implications of the adage "It's better to ask forgiveness than permission" in the context of disability scholarship and advocacy. It highlights the historical and ongoing struggles of marginalized communities, particularly in relation to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and various movements advocating for disability rights. The author critiques the predominance of White-centered research in disability studies, emphasizing the need for greater inclusion of scholars of color and a more intersectional approach to understanding the experiences of disabled individuals. The piece calls for accountability and a shift in how disability scholarship is conducted, urging a collaborative effort to address systemic inequities in higher education.
