Disability Studies by Dan Goodley
An Interdisciplinary Introduction
The text offers an accessible interdisciplinary introduction to disability studies, moving beyond medical explanations to examine disability as a socially and politically constructed identity shaped by power, culture, and institutions. It surveys historical, sociological, cultural, and psychological perspectives, explores activism and policy debates, and highlights intersectional issues such as race, gender, class, and neoliberalism. Emphasizing rights, representation, and inclusive practice, it provides critical frameworks for understanding how societies marginalize and can better support disabled people.
