通过一位NHS医院经理在确诊痴呆症后继续工作的亲身经历,揭示了残疾员工在工作中遭遇的“不被认可”暴力及其如何反抗并创造发展机会。

Abstract

While there is a growing literature on the experiences of disabled workers, this article presents an account of a work experience not frequently documented: being employed while living with dementia. It does this through the account of Elizabeth Draper, an NHS Hospital Trust manager, who received a diagnosis of dementia while employed. The article offers new ways of conceptualizing the struggles of disabled workers to continue with their project of self-becoming through work. It shows how work practices can enact violence through ‘non-recognition’ and how workers can subvert this violence to create opportunities for future development.
