The event, funded through IFAS-Recherche 2026 call for events, was organised by Daniela Ortiz Conrado (LISE \u2013 CNRS\/CNAM) and Tinovimba Patsika (University of Johannesburg).<\/p>\n<p>Bringing together researchers and activists from France and South Africa, the colloquium explored issues of participation, inclusion and exclusion experienced by persons with disabilities. Through a series of round-table discussions, participants examined the relationships between disability, employment, multidimensional poverty, capabilities and social participation, while reflecting on practical ways to strengthen equity and inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>A central objective of the colloquium was not to compare the French and South African contexts, but rather to explore how each can shed light on the other. By bringing together perspectives from different national, institutional and disciplinary settings, participants demonstrated the value of joint scientific events in fostering dialogue, generating new research questions and enriching understandings of shared social challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le 6 ao\u00fbt 2026, l&#8217;IFAS-Recherche a apport\u00e9 son soutien au colloque international intitul\u00e9 Rethinking Disability : Participation, Equity and Work, qui s&#8217;est tenu \u00e0 l&#8217;universit\u00e9 de Johannesburg.
