Jeanie Akamanti (Ph.D. expected December 2008)
Dissertation: “ Effects of Electronic Benefit Transfer on People with Disabilities: A Qualitative Examination"
Committee: Dr. Robert D. Benford (Chair), Dr. Thomas Calhoun, Dr. Jennifer L. Dunn, Dr. Michelle Miller, and Dr. Elisabeth Reichert .
Abstract: I use ethnography and grounded theory to identify the effects of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) policy on people with disabilities and analyze how the policy is constructed to serve as a form of social control. My research examines how EBT affects life choices and opportunities for recipients. It also illustrates how this policy marginalizes and undermines the civil and human rights of those with disabilities and creates and perpetuates the social construction of disability.
Research Interests: Constructs of Disability, Social Control of Marginal Populations.
