This ground-breaking volume considers what it means to make claims
of disability membership in view of the robust Disability Rights
movement, the rich areas of academic inquiry into disability,
increased philosophical attention to the nature and significance of
disability, a vibrant disability culture and disability arts
movement, and advances in biomedical science and technology. By
focusing on the statement, "We are all disabled", the book explores
the following questions: What are the philosophical, political, and
practical implications of making this claim? What conceptions of
disability underlie it? When, if ever, is this claim justified, and
when or why might it be problematic or harmful? What are the
implications of claiming "we are all disabled" amidst this global
COVID-19 pandemic? These critical reflections on the boundaries of
disability include perspectives from the humanities, social
sciences, law, and the arts. In exploring the boundaries of
disability, and the ways in which these lines are drawn
theoretically, legally, medically, socially, and culturally, the
authors in this volume challenge particular conceptions of
disability, expand the meaning and significance of the term, and
consider the implications of claiming disability as an identity. It
will be of interest to a broad audience, including disability
scholars, advocates and activists, philosophers and historians of
disability, moral theorists, clinicians, legal scholars, and
artists.
