| Abstract: | Underestimating the important role that disability plays in our growing world, the environment, and our inter-dependent economies is no longer acceptable. Far from being placed in a subaltern position, disability plays a significant role in theory and research development in the most recent waves of initiatives addressing work, resources, and the impact of climate (Berman-Bieler et al., 2023; Olusanya et al., 2023; Stein et al., 2023; Tampubolon, 2023). However, various foundational elements across global disability policies center around disabled peoples' material support needs (Bailie et al, 2023; Fisher et al., 2023) and the impact of disabled peoples' labor market employability across the world's economies (Pinilla-Roncancio & Gallardo, 2023; Revillard, 2023). The articles in this Special Issue of the "Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability" show us how some of these realities of "what is" can be disrupted, and we are honored to provide our unique perspective piece in response. We focus on the nuanced power dynamics often prevalent, albeit looked over, in the purpose of research by unpacking who decides when equity and justice have been met. We do so to engage future disabled possibilities in STEMM. |
