dc.description.abstractThis study is an exploration into the kinds of meanings embedded in dominant conceptions of resilience, and the ways such conceptions may be deployed, shaped, and reshaped through an encounter with “disability.” The purpose of this project is to critique, deepen and expand on existing understandings of resilience through the storied accounts of 14 post-secondary students in Alberta who experience disability. Robert McRuer’s Crip Theory, and other scholarship in critical disability studies, assists in the identification of critiques and in proposing alternative meanings of resilience (referred to in this study as “cripping” resilience). New vocabularies of resilience, emerging from three kinds of narratives (Narrative of Movement, Complicating Narrative, and Narrative of (Re)imagination), are proposed to more realistically reflect the life experiences, meaning constructions, and (dis)identities of people who experience disability. Lastly, new vocabularies of resilience and new theoretical treatments suggest avenues for crafting more accessible university settings.en_US
