My signature below is confirmation that I have agreed to take part in a series of interviews
with Colin Cameron (School of Media, Communication and Sociology, Queen Margaret
University, Edinburgh) as part of his research for his PhD thesis „Does anybody like being
disabled? An exploration of impairment, self and identity in a disabling society‟.
The series of interviews will be organised as follows:
Interview 1 This interview will be about establishing my own relationship with disability
as an idea or as an identity. Within this interview I will be asked to talk
about my own experiences and thoughts on the subject of disability.
Interview 2 This interview will be about my perceptions of media representations of
disability and disabled people and about how I view these as resources for
disabled people to draw on in addressing questions of identity
Interview 3: This will take place as I carry out an everyday activity identified and agreed
between Colin Cameron and myself. In addition to short interviews before
and after this activity, I give consent to Colin Cameron‟s making notes and
observations as I carry out this activity in order to develop these into a
qualitative description.
