What if disability isnâ²t a problem but a resource? This updated edition of a classic text in the field of disability studies interrogates the commonly held view that disability is something that needs to be â²curedâ² or â²eradicatedâ². It shows us how disability can challenge our thinking and help us to imagine a more socially just society, offering an engaging introduction to a diverse and globally expanding subject. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this text will be of interest to undergraduates, graduates, and researchers across the social sciences. Making the case that disability is much more than just impairment, this book uncovers the ways in which disabled people are challenging discrimination and marginalisation. Ranging across topics such as health, activism and education, this book asks questions about the ways in which society tends to understand disability and offers alternative explanations that are more exciting, radical and transformative.

Industry Reviews

From disability studies to critical disability studies and beyond, this 3rd edition of the now classic text demonstrates Prof Goodley’s sustained input and significance in the field. It is quite simply essential reading for students in disability studies and related subjects. David Bolt Professor in Disability Studies
This substantially revised 3rd edition of a much used and highly valued core text is timely and forward looking. It engages generously with the ideas of Disability Studies, providing an accessible review of the field and raising the questions it needs to grapple with. As Goodley reminds us, we may start with disability but we never end with it, this book provides great value to scholars – old and new – of Disability Studies and beyond.
