‘Getting in and going’: Access to onboard toilets for fat and disabled people on commercial aircraft

In this paper we explore the accessibility of toilets onboard commercial aircraft for passengers who identify as fat or fat and disabled. Drawing on qualitative survey and interview data, we discuss people's experiences of inaccessible onboard toilet spaces including getting to and into the toilet, managing bodily matter, anticipating a lack of accessible toilets, and the (il)legitimacy of fat and disabled air passengers within commercial aircraft regulations. Our data illustrate that current provision of onboard toilets is wholly inadequate for fat and disabled passengers, requiring strategies to manage bodily matter which are detrimental to health. We further 'fat ge-ographies' research and relational understandings of embodiment that attend to spatial and temporal contingency by drawing together insights from disability, crip, gender, queer and trans theory, in particular conceptualisations of 'misfit(ting)', crip time, and (il)legitimate lives

Researchers worked with animator Stacy Bias to provide an overview of different religious and secular practices in cemeteries and crematoria, and why these matter. Understanding different ritual and spatial requirements is important for the provision of inclusive public cemeteries and crematoria.
