Emil Falster, Research Associate at the Universal Design Hub/Bevica Foundation. He has previously researched children and young people with disabilities and their everyday lives and now researches the Danish concept of disability and how it creates certain opportunities and limitations for the realization of the UN World Goals and the Leave No One Behind agenda.
“Norm criticism is a useful tool for challenging our unconscious bias, making us curious about each other's possibilities and limitations in life, and the unequal distribution of power and privilege.”

He has previously researched children and young people with disabilities and their everyday lives and now researches the Danish concept of disability and how it creates certain opportunities and limitations for the realization of the UN World Goals and the Leave No One Behind agenda.
He uses universal design in his research as a norm-critical perspective to understand and problematize inequality-creating norms in society. His knowledge is used to gain insight into issues such as disability, politics and human perspective, but also empirically in relation to becoming smarter about the living conditions that people with disabilities have in Denmark.
