The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Disability provides a
timely and comprehensive overview of the wide range and depth of
sociological theory and research on disability-brought together for
the first time in one volume. Each section of the Handbook
incorporates a uniquely sociological perspective, presented by a
wide-range of experts on intersecting social, economic, political,
and cultural dimensions of disability, that complements disability
scholarship. The 37 chapters in this Handbook, organized into three
major sections, provide an assessment of the history of the field,
its current state, and the future for research on and in the
sociology of disability. The first section reviews frameworks
foundational to the study of disability, pushes for the inclusion
of broader global perspectives, and addresses important dimensions
of representation. The second section presents a combination of
perspectives that tie together individual biography, societal
contexts, and historic change, while emphasizing continuity and
change in the dynamic processes linking individuals, institutions,
and structures over time. In the third section, contributors
investigate the reproduction of inequality through law, policy, and
related institutions and systems, while highlighting how social and
political participation empowers people with disabilities and helps
to mitigate inequalities and social marginalization. The chapters
included in this volume offer a multifaceted resource for students
and experienced scientists alike on historical developments, main
standards, key issues, and current challenges in the sociological
study of disability at the global, national, and regional levels.
