Description

Dan Goodley's groundbreaking work offers a fresh perspective on disability and ability, challenging readers to rethink their understanding of these concepts. This thought-provoking text draws on interdisciplinary areas such as sociology, psychology, education, policy, and cultural studies to provide a nuanced analysis of the complex issues surrounding dis/ability. The book explores the interconnected nature of ableism and disablism, arguing that they are inextricably linked and require a research-driven approach to understand. The author applies this new analytical framework to various critical topics, including biopolitics, inclusive education, psychopathology, and market dynamics. This accessible text provides much-needed depth and analysis for students, researchers, disability activists, policymakers, and practitioners working with disabled people. By exploring the intersections of dis/ability with broader social issues, Goodley's work offers a valuable contribution to the emerging field of dis/ability studies.
