Academic Ableism brings together disability studies and
institutional critique to recognize the ways that disability is
composed in and by higher education, and rewrites the spaces,
times, and economies of disability in higher education to place
disability front and center. For too long, argues Jay Timothy
Dolmage, disability has been constructed as the antithesis of
higher education, often positioned as a distraction, a drain, a
problem to be solved. The ethic of higher education encourages
students and teachers alike to accentuate ability, valorize
perfection, and stigmatize anything that hints at intellectual,
mental, or physical weakness, even as we gesture toward the value
of diversity and innovation. Examining everything from campus
accommodation processes, to architecture, to popular films about
college life, Dolmage argues that disability is central to higher
education, and that building more inclusive schools allows better
education for all.
