Medical humanities and disability studies are disciplines at the
cutting edge of innovative critical work in the study of health and
disability, but to date there has been no book-length examination
of the relationship between the two. Although each has emerged from
different heritages, they share many features, from discussing the
complexities of embodiment, identifying processes of exclusion and
championing user participation, to a commitment to new forms of
critical writing. In/Disciplines explores the connections between
the two disciplines in detail. It presents a series of provocations
about how they interact, the forms their practice take, and their
strengths and weaknesses as working methods. With a focus on life
stories that give accounts of health and disability experiences, it
mixes creative and critical writing in an accessible manner aimed
at a wide audience in both Medical Humanities and Disability
Studies, and across new humanities more widely. The book asserts
that both disciplines need to evaluate and challenge core
assumptions if they are to remain critically relevant in the
evolving study of social and cultural understanding of health and
disability.
