We will be discussing some of Doron’s excellent work on disability, law, and the perception of fakery. The specific manuscript on which Doron would like feedback is the Suspicious Species paper.
 
As per Doron’s suggestion, I am also sending along two other of his papers to provide context for Doron’s line of work and facilitate discussion:
 

  • Fear of the Disability Con -- which gives the framework on the topic;
  • [Un]Usual Suspects -- which examines the psychological mechanism for suspecting people are faking disability in situations of scarcity using a series of experiments.
