‘That’s my journey’: what motivated me to conduct disability research?

Abstract

The following is a short article about what motivates me to conduct my PhD research on disabled people and their livelihoods in Sri Lanka. In my PhD, I included disabled people to formulate my research aim and objectives. Involving disabled individuals in the research process ensures that the most pressing concerns are addressed, hence enhancing the quality of the research.
