Summary:

"The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Disability offers the most comprehensive and authoritative resource on disability studies, bringing together leading scholars from across the social sciences, humanities, and allied fields. This interdisciplinary reference work critically examines disability as a social, cultural, political, and embodied phenomenon, providing state-of-the-art perspectives on theory, research, and practice. Entries span foundational concepts and emerging debates, including disability rights and justice, accessibility, intersectionality, neurodiversity, crip theory, and global perspectives on disability. The encyclopedia addresses key methodological approaches and explores disability in relation to education, health, law, technology, media, literature, and the arts. It also engages with timely topics such as digital inclusion, disability and climate change, and decolonial and feminist frameworks, offering readers a nuanced understanding of how disability intersects with power, identity, and social transformation. Designed for scholars, students, and practitioners, this volume serves as an indispensable reference for disciplines including disability studies, sociology, anthropology, psychology, education, law, cultural studies, gender studies, and public health. By crossing disciplinary boundaries and centering diverse voices, the encyclopedia provides a vital platform for advancing research and fostering inclusive practices worldwide"-- Springer Nature Link
