Challenging Ableist Norms in Academia: The Role of Disabled Students

By Vickie Stephens

Challenging Ableist Norms in Academia: The Role of Disabled Students is a book that examines the ways in which disability is often overlooked or marginalized within the higher education system.

The author, argues that disability has been constructed as the antithesis of higher education, and is often viewed as a problem to be solved rather than an integral part of the diversity of the higher education community.
Using disability studies and institutional critique, the book rewrites the spaces, times, and economies of disability in higher education to place disability front and center. It examines the ways in which ableism is perpetuated within higher education, including through campus accommodation processes, architecture, and popular media portrayals of college life.
The book provides a thorough analysis of the current state of disability in higher education, and offers practical strategies for building more inclusive schools that better serve all students.

Whether you are a disabled student, an educator, or simply someone interested in social justice, Challenging Ableist Norms in Academia: The Role of Disabled Students is an essential read that will deepen your understanding of this important issue.
