This book describes how people with learning difficulties challenge disabling environments, how professionals can support such challenges, and how self-advocacy groups contribute to politics and the study of disability. It examines self-advocacy in the lives of people with learning difficulties and offers an appraisal grounded in their own experiences. It also offers lessons for supporters, policy makers, professionals, and service providers, and gives examples of good practice. Goodley teaches sociology and social policy at the University of Leeds. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Researching Life Stories

Researching Life Stories critically and pragmatically reflects upon the use of life stories in social and educational research. Using four life stories as examples, the authors apply four different, practical approaches to demonstrate effective research and analysis.As well as examining in detail the four life stories around which the book is written, areas covered include:* Method and methodology in life story research* Analysis* Reflections on analyses* Craft and ethics in researching life* Policy, practice and theory in life story research.Throughout the book the authors demystify the issues surrounding life story research and demonstrate the significance of this approach to understanding individual and social worlds.This unique approach to life story research will be a valuable resource for all social science and education researchers at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Dis/ability Studies: Theorising disablism and ableism

In this ground-breaking new work, Dan Goodley makes the case for a novel, distinct, intellectual, and political project – dis/ability studies – an orientation that might encourage us to think again about the phenomena of disability and ability.  Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary areas, including sociology, psychology, education, policy and cultural studies, this much needed text takes the most topical and important issues in critical disability theory, and pushes them into new theoretical territory. Goodley argues that we are entering a time of dis/ability studies, when both categories of disability and ability require expanding upon as a response to the global politics of neoliberal capitalism. Divided into two parts, the first section traces the dual processes of ableism and disablism, suggesting that one cannot exist without the other, and makes the case for a research-driven and intersectional analysis of dis/ability. The second section applies this new analytical framework to a range of critical topics, including:    The biopolitics of dis/ability and debility     Inclusive education     Psychopathology     Markets, communities and civil society.    Dis/ability Studies provides much needed depth, texture and analysis in this emerging discipline. This accessible text will appeal to students and researchers of disability across a range of disciplines, as well as disability activists, policymakers, and practitioners working directly with disabled people.
