Arguing about Disability - Philosophical Perspectives (Hardcover): Kristjana Kristiansen, Simo Vehmas, Tom Shakespeare Arguing about Disability - Philosophical Perspectives (Hardcover)

Disability is a thorny and muddled concept - especially in the field of disability studies - and social accounts contest with more traditional biologically based approaches in highly politicized debates. Sustained theoretical scrutiny has sometimes been lost amongst the controversy and philosophical issues have often been overlooked in favour of the sociological. Arguing about Disability fills that gap by offering analysis and debate concerning the moral nature of institutions, policy and practice, and their significance for disabled people and society.

This pioneering collection is divided into three sections covering definitions and theories of disability; disabled people in society and applied ethics. Each contributor - drawn from a wide range of academic backgrounds including disability studies, sociology, psychology, education, philosophy, law and health science - uses a philosophical framework to explore a central issue in disability studies. The issues discussed include personhood, disability as a phenomenon, social justice, discrimination and inclusion.

Providing an overview of the intersection of disability studies and philosophical ethics, Arguing about Disability is a truly interdisciplinary undertaking. It will be invaluable for all academics and students with an interest in disability studies or applied ethics, as well as disability activists.

Co-Production is a model of practice in which service providers work with service users in the provision of social care services - in effect, a working partnership. This book explores the theory and practice of this developing innovative practice in social work and related fields. Examples of methods and services designed on co-production principles are given by the experienced contributors, including housing initiatives where the users, rather than professionals, provide support to each other, the development of local area co-ordination as a service response to dilemmas of geography, and whether restorative justice can provide a better direction in re-integration than traditional criminal justice. Drawing together key figures in the field of social care, this book will be essential reading for social care practitioners and service providers, academics, researchers and students. This topical series examines areas of particular interest to those in social and community work and related fields. Each book draws together different aspects of the subject, highlighting relevant research and drawing out implications for policy and practice. The project is under the editorial direction of Professor Joyce Lishman, Head of the School of Applied Social Studies at the Robert Gordon University.
