Summary:

"Disability can be thought of as the most universal of all identities. Whatever our gender, race, religion, nationality, class, or sexuality, we must recognize that disability, in its broadest sense, is very likely to become an aspect of our lives, if not so already.Disability studies is an established interdisciplinary subject that spans the fields of social science, the humanities, and education, not to mention the many academic subjects therein, be it progressively or potentially. As disability studies finds, explores, and challenges problems with representation on personal, social, international, and intercontinental scales, non-normative understandings and intersectionality with other identities define the key directions of new and future work. Disability studies is now a burgeoning global subject of interdisciplinary enquiry, led not only by the experiences but also by the complex ideas and understandings of disabled people.The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Disability Studies provides current, peer-reviewed, trustworthy articles that can be read in 30 minutes or less, providing an accessible entry point to the topic. The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Disability Studies is overseen by David Bolt and an editorial board of subject experts, ensuring a comprehensive, encyclopedic map of the field"-- Home page
