Viten og snakkis - en forskningspodkast

Retten til informasjon er blitt en del av FNs bærekraftsmål.

Sikre allmenn tilgang til informasjon og beskytte grunnleggende friheter, i samsvar med nasjonal lovgivning og internasjonale avtalerFNs bærekraftsmål delmål 16.10

I denne episoden forklarer professor Elisabeth Eide og leder for Det internasjonale senteret ved journalistikk og mediefag, Oona Solberg, hvorfor dette delmålet er så viktig for oss alle, ikke bare journalister. Mange land har en lov om tilgang til informasjon, men det finnes alltid et gap mellom lov og praksis.

Korleis kan vi forhindre sjølvmord og korleis kan helsepersonell best hjelpe?

May Vatne er nyleg pensjonert fyrstelektor ved fakultet for helsevitenskap. Ho har gjennom mange år jobba med undervisning om sjølmord og sjølmordsforebygging og forska på sjølvmord. Gjennom forskninga har ho snakka med overlevande etter sjølvmordsforsøk.

I denne episoden peikar May Vatne på behovet for å trekke pårørande tettare inn i behandlinga og ikkje minst skape openheit. Sjølv om helsepersonell har ein viktig rolle må vi aldri gløyme at sjølvmordsforebygging er eit samfunnsansvar vi alle har.

Denne høsten har det kommet 8 000 nye studenter til OsloMet. For mange er studenthverdagen ny, kaotisk og skummel.

- Begynn med å etablere en studiegruppe som du kan jobbe sammen gjennom hele studieåret, anbefaler førsteamanuensis Cecilie Dalland. Sammen med Olav Dalland har hun skrevet boken «Studentens hva, hvordan og hvorfor».

I tillegg er det viktig å få oversikt og legge en plan for semesteret. Jevnlig arbeid med studiene er det som skal til for å lykkes.

I denne episoden får du også tips om hvordan komme i gang med oppgaveskriving og forberede deg til ekasmen.

In this podcast episode PhD Candidate Gagan Chhabra explains the term disablism. Discrimination against disabled people is a big problem, but not often talked about.

- Disabled people have been pushed back of the que and marginalized for too long, Gagan explains, it's time to start a dialogue.

Transcript of episode

GAGAN CHHABRA:

I'm not your inspirational porn, and I'm not your tragic victim. I'm just a regular disabled person who has similar hopes, desires, dreams, expectations, prejudices, who is at times fragile, who is flawed, who is frail, but at the same time is strong, resilient, hardworking, like you are.

(INTRO MUSIC):

HALLVARD:Du hører på Viten og Snakkis. En podcast fra OsloMet.Welcome back Gagan Chhabra.

GAGAN CHHABRA:

Hi Hallvard, nice to meet you again.

HALLVARD:

You're doing a PhD degree here at OsloMet, and you've also visited this podcast once before. We called the episode “Ask, Don't Assume”. And today we're going to follow up a little bit. Today you’re going to teach me and our listeners, I think for many, a new -ism word. You wrote a little oped in Aftenposten, where I discovered this word and it's abelism. And, it's really interesting that you brought this up now in these, what shall we say, strange times and everything going on, so that's why I thought it was really natural to invite you back and help us understand this in today's context. But first this word ablelism.

GAGAN CHHABRA:

I think that there are lots of words which describe this phenomena, ablelism, disablelism, funkofobi, whatever you want to call it, you know, like Shakespeare back in the day said, you know, that a Rose by any other name would smell as sweet, so this concept of ableism, call it by any other name it's, it's equally abhorent. So the idea of this ableism is that you treat disabled people with less work, less value, just because of the fact that they have a disability, it's based on your abilities, you have misconceptions or spurious assumptions, you other the disabled person, you treat them as a marginal category when you think that you are the norm. So it's all based on prejudices, your conscious and unconscious biases, which you operate in which you say that, OK, this person has a disability and he or she is of less value or perhaps more value than I am. I don't want to treat that person as an equal human being.

HALLVARD:

This smells a lot of what's going on in the US now with the racism debate.

GAGAN CHHABRA:

Oh, yes for sure like precisely. It's cut out from the same cloth as racism or sexism, because the idea is that you don't treat an individual on his or her characteristics, or his or her capabilities and potentiality, but you treat them on this immutable feature perhaps, you know, if you want to call it an immutable feature, if a person has an impairment,  then you instinctively think that, Oh, this person's life would be perhaps absolutely tragic, he or she might be childlike or dependent or might be asexual or how would he or she be living a fulfilling life. I should feel sorry for this person and all these attitudes, you know, which we harbor either explicitly or are implicitly, make us walk on the path of abelism, and we don't even know about it that's the issue.

As you rightly mentioned that I've been writing, like op-eds about this in Dagsavisen, Vårt Land, Aftenposten and also one in English. And, the idea is to bring this concept to the Norwegian vocabulary, to give the Norwegian civil society disabilities activists an opportunity to work with it, because we all encounter these attitudinal barriers, especially I'm talking about people with disabilities, there's a lot of stigma and stereotyping attached to it.

HALLVARD:

Is it important to have a word for this?

GAGAN CHHABRA:

Yes, I think so, because if you don't have a word, then perhaps it's so hard to describe the problem, because you need a word to mobilize the imagination, if you will. So for instance, you know, like the idea is that we have a very decatent cartesian way of looking at the world. We look at the world in binaries, good and evil, right, and wrong, black and white, abled and disabled. And the truth is that perhaps we all, what I would call it, like many people have referred in the past as, we all are temporarily able bodied individuals. We are TABBIES. If we live long enough, there's a high probability we become disabled. If we are just one step away from having an accident, for instance, or falling from ski or who knows like if a child is going to be born with an extra chromosome, we have to keep that in the back of the mind, we all are flawed, we all are frail, an we all share a common destiny.So, if we are keeping this in the backdrop, then perhaps we will not create these strong binaries of ableness and disablement. We would be OK, treating the other disabled person with dignity, thinking that the other person has equal worth as I have, and we will not be othering the disabled human being. And that's the crux of ableism.

HALLVARD:

So, give me some examples of a abelism. How does a person with a disability see this happening?

GAGAN CHHABRA:

I think that all of this happens in the backdrop mostly. People don't even know that they are having or harboring ablelist attitudes, because we all want to think that we are kind, generous, good people. Nobody wants to walk on the street and say, “Oh, I don't like this blind person walking on the street and I'm going to trip him”. You get my point.

HALLVARD:

I do.

GAGAN CHHABRA:

So the idea of something like this, that we all have this in the back burner in our heads, because it's been such a long legacy of disabled people being treated in a very stigmatized, stereotypical way. And the idea is that if we assume that these people are dependent, then we will not be able to see them as, Oh, should I be dating this person, because perhaps this person is very dependent. I don't want to be a nurse for this person because this person is on a wheelchair, for instance, for example. Like, Oh, do disabled people have higher education? How do they go? Like, for instance, like if you're blind, how do you use a smart phone? You know, like do you have a job? Like if you're hard of hearing, how can you manage if you're signing? And if you are not talking properly, if you have speech impediments, can you have a job? Can you have a fulfilling life? What's the well being cushioned? Perhaps you don't have a similar amount of wellbeing, what I have when I can go on my trip to my cabin and I can have a full time job, and I am highly educated and I have a partner and I have a house, and I have my kids, because I am this "norm, able-bodied norm", and you my friend are the disabled, the other, the outsider, the periphery, the marginal.

HALLVARD:

So where do we start fighting ableism? Like, the way you're describing it, Gagan, it's so big as you say, this is, you know, in our back bones , like we don't think about it, we don't want to be rude, we don't want to be nasty, but people still are. So how do we start this change? This is probably not done within this year.

GAGAN CHHABRA:

(LAUGHTER ) No, I think that this is going to be a long, long journey, and that's why as I said, like disabled people have been marginalized for such a long period of time, and they have been viewed in a very patronizing form for a millennia. Not like 20 years, 30 years millennia. Only 30 years ago, the first civil rights act, which protected the rights of persons with disabilities was passed. It was passed in the US Americans with disabilities act. It was the first legislation which said that, listen, you should not discriminate against people with disabilities when it comes to recruitment, when it comes to giving access to education, when it comes to creating infrastructure where they could access the buildings, the movie theaters, the parks and so on, just 30 years ago.

And after that where have we reached? Like we had like Sweden coming up with an anti-discrimination law in late 90's early 2000. We had Norway coming up with an anti-discrimination law in mid-2000. Country like India and countries from the global South have come up with laws now recently, which says that you should not discriminate against people with disabilities, because the core idea is this, that the governments and the people and society, the consciousness is now increasing a little bit, and they are saying that you cannot, should not discriminate against people with disabilities. You should not treat them as objects of charity. You should not view them as personal tragedies. You've got to view them as human beings, with capabilities, with aspirations, to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

And this is just 30 years ago. So of course, it's going to take a long, long, long bit of time. I think we've just started this journey, but the good thing is that, at least what's happening in the US right now, it's the societal consciousness has increased quite drastically on issues of race. We are kneeling in solidarity with with people, we are talking about listening to these marginalized voices, we want to explain to people that it's not good, it's not right to discriminate against people based on their immutable characteristics, be it race, be it gender, and I think disability is also a very, very important marginalized minority group, which has to be taken care of. As I mentioned, they're like 17% of the Norwegian population that has a disability of some kind. And a lot of this disability is invisible. And what I mean by invisible disability is people having social anxiety,...

- Vi er mer endringsdyktige enn vi er klar over.Professor Nina Amble og stipendiat Else Marie Johansen ved Institutt for yrkesfaglærerutdanning jobber med medarbeiderdrevet innovasjon. Til forskjell fra forbedring eller utvikling handler innovasjon om å markere et brudd, gjøre noe nytt og oppleve en merverdi. I denne episoden forteller Nina og Else hvordan helsesektoren kan jobbe med innovasjon og viser hvordan erfaringene kan overføres til andre sektorer.Et samarbeid med fire kommuner har resultert i en egen håndbok for medarbeiderdrevet innovasjon i omsorgsarbeid.

The murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer sparked the most sustained wave of protests in the US since the 1960s, in addition to protests in Norway and countries all across the world. Issues of structural and systemic racism have been thrust into the mainstream discourse like never before. Do the events of the past month mark a turning point in how our societies view and deal with racism, or are things likely to revert to normal?

In this episode, Professor Erika Gubrium and Associate Professor Ariana Fernandes of the Institute of Social Work, Child Welfare and Social policy join host Jeff Lugowe for a deep dive into the circumstances surrounding this global protest movement and the state of systemic racism on both sides of the Atlantic. They discuss who has taken the lead in organizing the street protests, what the research tells us about structural racism in the US and Norway, and whether the mobilization we are currently witnessing will have a lasting impact on the societies we live in.
