Centrone B., Costantino E. Multiple discrimination: an intersectional study on the embodied experience of LGBTQIAP+ disabled people

Authors: Barbara Centrone, Elisa Costantino

Abstract

The existing literature on Disability Studies has only recently begun to explore the sexual identity of disabled people from an embodied perspective. This study is part of a broader and still ongoing research project that presents the results of an exploratory survey conducted with a self-selected sample of queer disabled people. The study builds on the authors’ collaborative autoethnography and continues with a survey and discursive interviews.

Keywords: autoethnography, intersectional, ableism, queerphobia
