Geographies of disability have become a key research priority for
many disability scholars and geographers. This edited collection,
incorporating the work of leading international disability
researchers, seeks to expand the current geographical frame
operating within the realm of disability. Providing a critical and
comprehensive examination of disability and spatial processes of
exclusion and inclusion for disabled people, the book uniquely
brings together insights from disability studies, spatial
geographies and social policy with the purpose of exploring how
spatial factors shape, limit or enhance policy towards, and the
experiences of, disabled people. Divided into two parts, the first
section explores the key concepts to have emerged within the field
of disability geographies, and their relationship to new policy
regimes. New and emerging concepts within the field are critically
explored for their significance in conceptually framing disability.
The second section provides an in-depth examination of disabled
people's experience of changing landscapes within the onset of
emerging disability policy regimes. It deals with how the various
actors and stakeholders, such as governments, social care agencies,
families and disabled people traverse these landscapes under the
new conditions laid out by changing policy regimes. Crucially, the
chapters examine the lived meaning of changing spatial relations
for disabled people. Grounded in recent empirical research, and
with a global focus, each of the chapters reveal how social policy
domains are challenged or undermined by the spatial realities faced
by disabled people, and expands existing understandings of
disability. In turn, the book supports readers to grasp future
policy directions and processes that enable disabled people's
choices, rights and participation. This important work will be
invaluable reading for students and researchers involved in
disability, geography and social policy.
