| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the intersection of activism and paid work in the narratives of women with disabilities living in Poland and identifying themselves as activists. Based on narrative interviews, the study examines how the women navigate their roles as activists and workers, addressing, among other things, identity, self-advocacy, and the challenges of balancing activism with financial stability. The findings reveal four ideal types of activists: the precarian activist, the full-time activist, the manager activist, and the leisure time activist, each employing specific strategies to integrate or separate activism and paid work. The research highlights how activism serves not only as a form of social involvement but also as a means of professional development, identity-building, and self-actualization. It challenges traditional discourses on vocational activation, emphasizing the agency of women with disabilities in shaping their careers and contributing to their communities. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Artykuł podejmuje zagadnienia związane z aktywizmem i pracą zawodową. Opierając się na wywiadach narracyjnych przeprowadzonych z kobietami aktywistkami z niepełnosprawnością, autorka analizuje, w jaki sposób kobiety zarządzają podejmowanymi rolami aktywistek i pracownic (np. decydując się na pracę z własną tożsamością w działaniach samorzeczniczych), a także w jaki sposób równoważą działania aktywistyczne z bezpieczeństwem ekonomicznym. Wyniki badań wskazują na cztery typy idealne aktywistek: aktywistkę prekariuszkę, aktywistkę na etacie, aktywistkę menedżerkę i aktywistkę w czasie wolnym. W każdym z nich stosowane są określone strategie łączenia lub rozdzielania aktywizmu i pracy zarobkowej. Autorka pokazuje, że aktywizm nie jest wyłącznie formą społecznego zaangażowania – może on służyć także jako środek samorealizacji, rozwoju zawodowego i budowania tożsamości. Artykuł wykracza poza perspektywę rehabilitacji i aktywizacji zawodowej osób niepełnosprawnych, pokazując sprawstwo kobiet w kształtowaniu swojej kariery, zarówno aktywistycznej, jak i zawodowej. | pl |
