From capacitalism to disability justice in academia: A philosophical manifesto
Bibliographic record
Abstract
North American universities try to promote equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization (EDID). However, accessibility for people with disabilities is often overlooked. Questioning the roots of academic ableism and proposing new concepts, this article, a decolonial and anti-capitalist manifesto, serves to reconceptualize knowledge and question what the author calls the “intellectual contract” on which universities are built. In this philosophical manifesto, the author posits that the obstacles encountered by disabled university students are rooted in a narrow conception of knowledge, which stems from the coloniality of power and an innovative concept: “racial ableism,” a term that emphasizes the interconnectedness of capitalism, colonialism, race, and ableism.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
