1. 1. Academic Ableism

   Disability and Higher Education

   

   This book examines how higher education is structured around ableist assumptions—valuing certain bodies, minds, and ways of learning—and shows how those norms shape built environments, policies, pedagogy, and academic rhetoric to exclude disabled students and faculty. It combines critical theory, history, and personal narrative to reveal everyday practices of marginalization, argues for accessible alternatives grounded in universal design and collective responsibility, and calls for institutional and cultural changes to make academic life genuinely inclusive.

2. 2. Disability Rhetoric

   

   This book argues that disability is produced and contested through rhetoric, showing how language, imagery, institutions, and design shape what counts as normal or disabled. Drawing on history, law, medicine, architecture, technology, and education, it reveals how discourse and material practices exclude or enable people with disabilities and offers rhetorical strategies for inclusive design, pedagogy, and activism. By linking disability studies with rhetorical theory, it reframes disability as both a political and communicative phenomenon and proposes practical interventions to promote accessibility and equity.
