Invitation: You are being invited to take part in a questionnaire for a research study conducted by Ioana Cerasella Chis from the University of Glasgow.
About the project: This project seeks to explore the politics of rest and free time under disabling capitalism. To this end, in its first phase, it seeks questionnaire responses by UK-based people who self-identify as being disabled, chronically ill, learning disabled, d/Deaf, neurodivergent, having impairments, or experiencing mental distress.
This project will gather stories and evidence that show, for example: what societal change is needed so that rest and free time are available to everyone (regardless of their employment status), what social restrictions create barriers for using free time in a way that is meaningful to respondents, what restful activities are most meaningful to the respondents, how they define these activities, and more.
What will happen after questionnaires and (later) collective discussions: alongside other publications, a Manifesto for Rest and Free Time will be written and shared widely.
The questionnaire: Responses can be submitted any time until (it is anticipated) the end of November 2026. If you do not have time to complete it in one sitting, you can close the online link to return to it at a later time (your previous responses should be remembered by your device for 2 weeks from the last edit). Alternatively, you can use the Word Document version linked above. If you wish to submit audio-recorded files (instead of typing your answers), you can upload them in the online questionnaire.
Sharing it with others: If you are interested in sharing the questionnaire with others, please forward this email or share this page with them: https://breadrosesdisability.uk/questionnaire/. More information about the project can be found at https://breadrosesdisability.uk
