The wheeling interview: mobile methods and disability

Abstract

In the past decade, a variety of mobile practices and mobile methods have been investigated and developed in mobilities research. Despite this great diversity, the mobile experiences of disabled people remain poorly represented in the literature. The points of intersection between mobilities and critical disability studies research are slowly getting the attention they deserve. In this article, I share some of the challenges and barriers I faced as a disabled researcher using a wheelchair and conducting wheeling interviews with 23 disabled people in Montréal and in New York City. Theorizing wheeling with a wheelchair as a mobile practice and wheeling interviews as a method disturbs how we think about and through walking.
