Biography
Philippa Duell-Piening is a socio-legal researcher specialising in the human rights of people who are refugees with disability.
A remarkable analysis of data collection – “not neutral and inert but powerful and potentially dangerous” – combined with a profound quest to fight the discrimination against refugees with disabilities, ultimately providing an innovative conceptual framework in international law, based on the relationship between visibility, control and power.
François Crépeau, Full Professor, Faculty of Law, McGill University
This book brilliantly propounds an alternative reading of Article 31 CRPD, with a focus on refugee context. It is a timely and thought-provoking contribution, which calls for a more intersectional approach to data collection and suggests a greater focus on attitudinal and environmental barriers.
