Undoing Ableism is a sourcebook for teaching about disability and
anti-ableism in K-12 classrooms. Conceptually grounded in
disability studies, critical pedagogy, and social justice
education, this book provides both a rationale as well as
strategies for broad-based inquiries that allow students to examine
social and cultural foundations of oppression, learn to disrupt
ableism, and position themselves as agents of social change. Using
an interactive style, the book provides tools teachers can use to
facilitate authentic dialogues with students about constructed
meanings of disability, the nature of belongingness, and the
creation of inclusive communities.

Constructing the (M)other is a collection of personal narratives
about motherhood in the context of a society in which disability
holds a stigmatized position. From multiple vantage points, these
autoethnographies reveal how ableist beliefs about disability are
institutionally upheld and reified. Collectively they seek to call
attention to a patriarchal surveillance of mothering, challenge the
trope of the good mother, and dismantle the constructed hierarchy
of acceptable children. The stories contained in this volume are
counter-narratives of resistance-they are the devices through which
mothers push back. Rejecting notions of the otherness of their
children, in these essays, mothers negotiate their identities and
claim access to the category of normative motherhood. Readers are
likely to experience dissonance, have their assumptions about
disability challenged, and find their parameters of normalcy
transformed.
