A tribute to the influence of one of the "intellectual forbearers"
of Disability Studies in Education (DSE), this collection of six
essays honors the scholar and activist Steven J. Taylor. The
Centennial Professor of Disability Studies, and director of the
Center on Human Policy at the Syracuse University School of
Education was recognized internationally for his enduring
commitment to disability policy, advocacy, and the meaningful
inclusion of people with disabilities throughout society. His
research, teaching, and scholarship shaped our understanding of
disability through a sociological lens honed over decades of
enquiry that trace back from his early work on
deinstitutionalization and to the present disability trends and
controversies. Taylor made clear how we socially construct
humanness, belonging, community, and care in much the same way we
construct deviance and stigma. Steven J. Taylor: Blue man Living in
a Red World provides insight into the theoretical grounding that
has fueled DSE research and scholarship for decades. You will also
find opportunities for personal reflection about how one might find
Taylor's work intrinsic to current efforts to challenge the
persistent segregation and mistreatment of people labeled with
intellectual or developmental disabilities. As the third volume in
this series that is devoted to unraveling and better understanding
the evolution of thought among those recognized as the early voices
and critical leaders who laid the foundation for disability studies
in education, the contributors to this text reexamine the impact of
Taylor's scholarship on their own thinking, teaching, academic and
civic activities. These essays will help you discover that Taylor
continues his mentorship of those who ascribe to DSE tenets and
more importantly, encourages each of us to use our positions to
influence the next generation of disability activists and scholars.
Contributors are: Julie Allan, Jennifer Randhare Ashton, Elisabeth
De Schauwer, Cheryl M. Jorgensen, Nancy Rice, Janet Story Sauer,
Ashley Taylor, Geert Van Hove and Linda Ware.
