Reciprocity in Knowledge Production: A Cornerstone for Disability Inclusion

The chapter is divided into three linked contributions by authors who discuss their experience of, and thinking about, reciprocity in different health care and educational settings. Christina described how the disrespectful attitude of health care staff toward her as a new mother with a disabled child led to her active engagement with community projects. Gubela has looked at a history of coloniality that dismissed the local knowledge and wisdom related to health thereby which has ruthlessly impacted on the well-being of a rural community. Lindsey and Lucia have described the process of “learning from” each other in a PhD supervision partnership.
