Abstract
- Michel Callon's economic sociology frequently addresses the topic of disability. Though his Actor-Network Theory (ANT) contributions are often cited within mainstream disability studies, his economic sociology has not. In this paper, I seek to present it to disability studies, and argue that it is complimentary to existing inquiries into the political economy of disablement. After sketching out ANT and Callon's economic sociology, which I read as part of the ANT tradition, I apply them to the case of the Ontario Disability Support Program's (ODSP) Employment Supports. This ODSP program seeks to include disabled Ontarians in the labor market. It also offers us the opportunity to examine the utility of Callon's work. I conclude with a discussion of future Callon-inspired disability studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
