| Title | The Racialized Construction of Disability and Educational Segregation in Post-Socialist Hungary |
| Summary | This thesis explores the educational segregation of Romani pupils in the Hungarian education system, particularly their overrepresentation in special needs education, under the label of mild intellectual disability. This research is grounded in critical disability studies, and it aims to explore the mechanism of racialization of disability in Hungary. It focuses on landmark juridical cases such as Horváth and Kiss v. Hungary to Szolcsán v. Hungary to tackle how the social and political context influences the educational inequalities, and how the articulation of disability changes over time and context. It builds on Crip of Color critique, and the biopolitics of debility, as articulated in the work of Jasbir Puar, to work through the tensions that arise at the intersection of racialization and disability. |
