Important methodological questions are raised by the act of researching disablement. Disability research has attracted much methodological criticism from disabled people who argue that it has taken place within an oppressive theoretical paradigm and within an oppressive set of social relations. These issues are of heightened significance for non-disabled researchers and bear many similarities to those faced by researchers investigating barriers to the social inclusion of women, Black and 'Third World' peoples. Such challenges have led to the development of an 'emancipatory' research paradigm. Six principles of emancipatory research are identified and the authors own research projects are critically examined within this framework. A number of contradictions are identified and an attempt made to balance the twin requirements of political action and academic rigour.
对残疾问题的研究引发了重要的方法论问题。残疾研究受到了残疾人的诸多方法论批评，他们认为该研究是在一种压迫性的理论范式和一套压迫性的社会关系中进行的。这些问题对于非残疾研究人员来说具有更高的重要性，并且与研究妇女、黑人和“第三世界”人民社会融入障碍的研究人员所面临的问题有许多相似之处。这些挑战促使了一种“解放性”研究范式的发展。本文确定了解放性研究的六项原则，并在这一框架内对作者自己的研究项目进行了批判性审视。文中识别出了一些矛盾之处，并试图平衡政治行动和学术严谨性这两个双重要求。
