In this ground-breaking new work, Dan Goodley makes the case for a
novel, distinct, intellectual, and political project - dis/ability
studies - an orientation that might encourage us to think again
about the phenomena of disability and ability. Drawing on a range
of interdisciplinary areas, including sociology, psychology,
education, policy and cultural studies, this much needed text takes
the most topical and important issues in critical disability
theory, and pushes them into new theoretical territory. Goodley
argues that we are entering a time of dis/ability studies, when
both categories of disability and ability require expanding upon as
a response to the global politics of neoliberal capitalism. Divided
into two parts, the first section traces the dual processes of
ableism and disablism, suggesting that one cannot exist without the
other, and makes the case for a research-driven and intersectional
analysis of dis/ability. The second section applies this new
analytical framework to a range of critical topics, including: The
biopolitics of dis/ability and debility Inclusive education
Psychopathology Markets, communities and civil society. Dis/ability
Studies provides much needed depth, texture and analysis in this
emerging discipline. This accessible text will appeal to students
and researchers of disability across a range of disciplines, as
well as disability activists, policymakers, and practitioners
working directly with disabled people.
