Publication Date: 2014-06-16
Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary areas, including sociology, psychology, education, policy and cultural studies, this text takes the most topical and important issues in critical disability theory, and pushes them into new theoretical territory. Divided into two parts, the first section traces the dual processes of ableism and disablism, suggesting that one cannot exist without the other, and makes the case for a research-driven and intersectional analysis of dis/ability. The second section applies this new analytical framework to a range of critical topics.
