- Summary:
- Titchkosky (education, U. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada) explores the social meaning of access in terms of disability and inclusion, particularly surrounding access to shared spaces in a bureaucratic or academic context. She organizes her inquiry around questions of who is considered disabled (questions of identity), what is disabled (questions on representing the disabled), where (what spaces are deemed necessary for inclusion, such as bathrooms), and when (the ever-extending future when disability issues are promised to be addressed). The work concludes with an argument for the rethinking of how disability and access is viewed. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
