Description

Overcoming Disabling Barriers: 18 Years of Disability and Society provides a comprehensive overview of the development of disability studies over the past two decades. This collection of essential articles from the journal Disability and Society brings together leading authors from around the world to explore key debates, challenges, and policy issues affecting disabled people. The book is divided into three sections, each addressing a central theme: disability studies, policy, and research issues. The editors' introduction to each section provides context and introduces students to the main issues and current thinking in the field. This collection offers a rich source of ideas and insights on conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and cross-cultural issues. Through its diverse range of perspectives and approaches, Overcoming Disabling Barriers offers valuable insights into the inequalities between disabled and non-disabled people and the advocacy of new methods and research practices.
