Academic Ableism by Jay Timothy Dolmage
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.
