Disability Studies: A Student's Guide

Inclusive social model perspective on disability studies.

If you're diving into disability studies, this guide will be your ally. Its strength lies in diversifying expert perspectives and stressing the social model approach, focusing on societal change rather than individual impairment. The book invites you to challenge your assumptions with its critical questions and recommended readings, making it a dynamic tool for both personal and professional growth in fields like health, social work, and policy.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This textbook brings together a wide range of expert voices from the field of disability studies and the disabled people’s movement to tackle the essential topics relevant to this area of study. From the outset, disability is discussed from a social model perspective, demonstrating how future practice and discourse could break down barriers and lead to more equal relationships for disabled people in everyday life. An interdisciplinary and broad-ranging text, the book includes 50 chapters on topics relevant across health and social care. Reflective questions and suggestions for further reading throughout will help readers gain a critical appreciation of the subject and expand their knowledge. This will be valuable reading for students and professionals across disability studies, health, nursing, social work, social care, social policy, and sociology.
