Over the last half century disability studies has emerged not only as a discipline in itself but also as a catalyst for the interdisciplinary fields of cultural disability studies and Disability Studies in Education (DSE). This groundbreaking book by leading disabilities studies scholar David Bolt unites these two areas into a new field that recognises education as a conversation between educators and students who explore representations of disability on the levels of everything from academic disciplines and curricular to language, theory, narrative, and characterisation.
David Bolt is Professor in the Department of Disability and Education at Liverpool Hope University, UK, where he is also Director of the Centre for Culture and Disability Studies. He is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Literary and Cultural Disability Studies; a series editor of Literary Disability Studies; and a general editor of A Cultural History of Disability. Previous books include The Madwoman and the Blindman (2012); The Metanarrative of Blindness (2014); Changing Social Attitudes Toward Disability (Routledge, 2014); and Disability, Avoidance, and the Academy (Routledge, 2016).
