Inhaltsangabe

Disability is a widespread phenomenon, indeed a potentially universal one as life expectancies rise, yet it is often dismissed as a niche market. This collection explores how academic avoidance of disability studies is indicative of social prejudice and highlights, conversely, how the academy can and does engage with disability studies.
