Description
Disability Studies: An Interdisciplinary Introduction by Dan Goodley provides a fresh perspective on disability as a resource rather than a problem. This updated edition challenges the conventional view that disability needs to be 'cured' or 'eradicated', instead highlighting its potential to challenge societal thinking and promote social justice. Through an interdisciplinary approach, this book explores topics such as health, activism, and education, offering alternative explanations for understanding disability. It uncovers how disabled people are challenging discrimination and marginalisation, making the case that disability is more than just impairment. This engaging introduction to disability studies will be of interest to students, researchers, and anyone looking to understand this diverse and globally expanding subject. Suitable for those seeking a nuanced exploration of disability, this book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the ways in which society understands and interacts with disability.
