Cultural Disability Studies in Education (eBook, PDF)

Interdisciplinary Navigations of the Normative Divide

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Over the last half century disability studies has emerged not only as a discipline in itself but also as a catalyst for the interdisciplinary fields of cultural disability studies and Disability Studies in Education (DSE). This groundbreaking book by leading disabilities studies scholar David Bolt unites these two areas into a new field that recognises education as a conversation between educators and students who explore representations of disability on the levels of everything from academic disciplines and curricular to language, theory, narrative, and characterisation.
