This edited volume includes chapters on disability studies
organized around three themes: Theory, Philosophy and Critique.
Informed by a range of scholars who may or may not fashion their
work beneath the banner of disability studies in explicit terms, it
draws connections across a range of identities, knowledges,
histories, and struggles that may, on the face of the text seem
unrelated. The chapters are cross-categorical and interdisciplinary
for purposes of complicating disability studies across
international contexts and multiple locations that consider
practice-oriented and intersectional approaches for analysis and
advocacy. This integrative approach heralds more powerful ways to
imagine disability and the conversation on disability.
While there are many introductions to disability and disability
studies, most presume an advanced academic knowledge of a range of
subjects. Beginning with Disability is the first introductory
primer for disaibility studies aimed at first year students in two-
and four-year colleges. This volume of essays across
disciplines-including education, sociology, communications,
psychology, social sciences, and humanities-features accessible,
readable, and relatively short chapters that do not require
specialized knowledge. Lennard Davis, along with a team of
consulting editors, has compiled a number of blogs, vlogs, and
other videos to make the materials more relatable and vivid to
students. "Subject to Debate" boxes spotlight short pro and con
pieces on controversial subjects that can be debated in class or
act as prompts for assignments.

Ideology and the Politics of (In)Exclusion provides an
international analysis of the politics of research and practice in
special education. The contributors to this volume establish
purposeful connections to the micropolitics of disability
identification and the macropolitics of social structure and
describe various geographic locales, recount multiple historical
contexts, rely upon differing sources of evidence, and as a
consequence, relate a more complex and richly layered analysis of
educational inclusion. Ideology and the Politics of (In)Exclusion
breaks away from the prevailing discourse on educational inclusion
as that which occurs in a vacuum, separate from social inclusion,
by providing a close analysis of the narrow frameworks, historic
influence, and research tensions that underwrite current special
education practice.
