Bełza-Gajdzica Magdalena, Able-bodied vs. disabled people – infrahumanisation of students with disabilities(a case study). Culture – Society – Education no 2(16) 2019, Poznań 2019, pp. 71–83, Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-0422. DOI 10.14746/kse.2019.16.5. The article discusses the phenomenon of infrahumanisation in academic relations between able-bodied people (both students and academics) and students with disabilities. The main goal of the article is to show that infrahumanisation may make it difficult for young people with disabilities to build their capital for the future in the form of interpersonal relations. The paper uses Arnold van Gennep’s concept of the rite of passage as a model of entering adulthood, and focuses specifically on the stage of university education as the one which completes the transition into adulthood, and marks the beginning of a “normal” life (i.e. one consistent with social expectations). The phenomenon of infrahumanisation shown here on various levelsof academic life disrupts this process, and may hinder the inclusion/integration of disabled people into society. The relations between disabled students and non-disabled people who are part of the academic community in which the students operate may, however, also bridge the distance between the two groups, and thus contribute to paving the way to a respectful society, i.e. the way of equality.

This article aims to highlight the changes in higher education that are taking place in the context of the challenges of educating students with diverse needs. Societal understanding of disability brings with it the need to improve the situation, and the Accessibility for Persons with Diverse Needs Act motivates universities to increase accessibility. This article reflects on the education of students with disabilities and attempts to answer the question of the place of a person with special needs in higher education system. It also presents good practices having been implemented for years at the University of Silesia in Katowice and current activities aimed at realizing the idea of equal opportunities by implementing the assumptions of the Accessibility Act.

Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na zmiany w szkolnictwie wyższym, które dokonują się w kontekście wyzwań, jakie stanowi kształcenie dla studentów ze zróżnicowanymi potrzebami. Społeczne rozumienie niepełnosprawności niesie za sobą konieczność poprawy ich sytuacji, a Ustawa o zapewnieniu dostępności osobom ze szczególnymi potrzebami motywuje uczelnie do zwiększania dostępności. Artykuł stanowi refleksję dotyczącą kształcenia studentów z niepełnosprawnościami oraz próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie o miejsce osoby ze szczególnymi potrzebami w systemie szkolnictwa wyższego. Ukazane zostały również dobre praktyki od lat realizowane na Uniwersytecie Śląskim w Katowicach oraz aktualnie podejmowane działania na rzecz realizacji idei równych szans poprzez urzeczywistnianie założeń zapisanych w ustawie o dostępności.

The study is aimed at presenting the educational space of a disabled learner within the category of infrahumanization – social categorizing into “ingroups” and “outgroups”. The presented issues comprise educational space, three functioning forms of education, the phenomenon of infrahumanization and the common group identity. Disabled learners’ functioning within a class is presented in: mainstream school (where the dominating group consists of learners without disabilities), integrated school (where categorization of learners is shaped in the way offering more chances to the disabled), and special school (a segregation-based form). Two dimensions of the discussed phenomenon of infrahumanization are indicated – heterogeneousness, which enhances attitudes of acceptance and understanding within a class group (micro-dimension) and its more serious social consequences (macro-dimension).
