Disability inclusion in Indian workplaces: Mapping the research landscape and exploring new terrains

Abstract

In this commentary, we reflect upon twenty years of disability research in the Indian workplace and identify possibilities for new conversations and terrains of inquiry. We trace the key frames, theories, and methodological tendencies that demarcate this scholarship. We suggest that researchers can open new terrains of inquiry by situating disability in context, exploring heterogeneous forms of organising and workplace arrangements, and connecting workplace relations and interactions with wider institutional and sociopolitical discourses. We conclude with reflections on disability and inclusion otherwise.
