Abstract

In graduate school, people with disabilities use disability accommodations to learn, network, and do research. However, these accommodations, often scheduled ahead of time, may not work in many situations due to uncertainty and spontaneity of the graduate experience. Through a three-person autoethnography, we present a longitudinal account of our graduate school experiences as people with disabilities, highlighting nuances and tensions of situations when our requested accommodations did not work and the use of alternative coping strategies. We use retrospective journals and field notes to reveal the impact of our self-image, relationships, technologies, and infrastructure on our disabled experience. Using post-hoc reflection on our experiences, we then close with discussing personal and situated ways in which peers, faculty members, universities, and technology designers could improve the graduate school experiences of people with disabilities.

残疾人士在研究生院的导航
在研究生院,残障人士利用残障设施来学习、交流和做研究。然而,由于毕业生经历的不确定性和自发性,这些通常提前安排的住宿可能在许多情况下不起作用。通过一个三人的自我民族志,我们呈现了我们作为残疾人的研究生院经历的纵向描述,强调了当我们要求的住宿不工作时情况的细微差别和紧张局势,以及使用替代应对策略。我们使用回顾性日志和实地记录来揭示我们的自我形象、人际关系、技术和基础设施对我们残疾经历的影响。通过对我们经历的事后反思,我们最后讨论了同龄人、教师、大学和技术设计师可以改善残疾人研究生院体验的个人和情境方式。
