I currently hold two honorary professorships at universities in Australia. Over the past twenty years I have researched and advocated with people with disabilities on issues which have been of concern to them and which have aimed at making positive social change. Among these issues have been: deinstitutionalisation (both in Australia and overseas) community inclusion and belonging, rights with a particular focus on the UN CRPD, gender issues, sexuality and relationships and advocacy and activism. I have a particular interest in doing inclusive research which involves people with disabilities as active initiators and developers of research which is of concern to them. I have co-written or edited 7 books. The most recent of these is an edited book which focuses on accounts by disabled advocates and activists and their allies of how they work and their achievements (Soldatic K, & Johnson, K (2019) Global Perspectives on Disability Activism and Advocacy. London: Routledge).
