Disability Studies

Collection Editor: Dr. Damian Mellifont

The Disability Studies Collection aims to increase understanding and advance the social and economic inclusion of people with disability. The collection welcomes titles that examine and illuminate lived experiences across all types of disability (e.g., physical, psychosocial, intellectual, acquired brain disorder, vision, hearing).

We invite authors to share personal or collective lived experiences with disability in any geographic or conceptual or physical ‘place’ (e.g., employment, accommodation, community, intersectional context, environment, country or region) across the globe. Places are not limited to physical locations and may include social institutions (e.g., disability in family, economy, government, politics, religious, legal, mass media). The collection itself therefore endeavours to be inclusive of diverse places where barriers to a more inclusive world for people with disability are not only recognised, but importantly, are challenged.
