Reflections on the Implementation of an Ongoing Inclusive Research Project

This reflective piece is co-authored by four members of an inclusive research team, who have been working on a project that aims to create an online resource with a video curriculum vitae of individuals with intellectual disability to showcase their achievements and skills. Taking the view that conducting research inclusively is a dynamic and ongoing process, we discuss our experiences in implementing the project and the steps we took to ensure that the process was as inclusive as possible. We first present an overview of the aims of the project and what we have achieved so far. We then provide our individual perspectives on the experience of being involved in the project so far and how inclusive it has been. Together, we then reflect on the main outcomes of the project so far, on the factors that affected how we implemented it, and on how we plan to work towards the last phase of the project.
