Summary of chapter:

The aim of this chapter is to provide an initial overview of the field of feminist disability studies in Latin America, through a literature review and interviews with academics who research disability from a feminist perspective. In this chapter, we analyze: (a) how feminist disability studies are linked to feminisms, (b) the strategies that academics develop to counteract hegemonic and colonial ways of constructing knowledge, and their connection with communities, and (c) how academics position themselves within a field supported by the relevance of lived experience in disability studies.
