Whilst legislation may have progressed internationally and
nationally for disabled people, barriers continue to exist, of
which one of the most pervasive and ingrained is attitudinal.
Social attitudes are often rooted in a lack of knowledge and are
perpetuated through erroneous stereotypes, and ultimately these
legal and policy changes are ineffectual without a corresponding
attitudinal change. This unique book provides a much needed,
multifaceted exploration of changing social attitudes toward
disability. Adopting a tripartite approach to examining disability,
the book looks at historical, cultural, and education studies,
broadly conceived, in order to provide a multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary approach to the documentation and endorsement of
changing social attitudes toward disability. Written by a selection
of established and emerging scholars in the field, the book aims to
break down some of the unhelpful boundaries between disciplines so
that disability is recognised as an issue for all of us across all
aspects of society, and to encourage readers to recognise
disability in all its forms and within all its contexts. This truly
multidimensional approach to changing social attitudes will be
important reading for students and researchers of disability from
education, cultural and disability studies, and all those
interested in the questions and issues surrounding attitudes toward
disability.
