Vera Chouinard is a professor emeritus of Earth, environment, and society at McMaster University.

“Neo-liberal global capitalism, Chouinard writes, shapes our lives as disabled and ‘mad’ people, positioning so many on the edge of humanity. Incisively showing how impairment is given shape on geographically uneven ground, Chouinard maps disabled life in the university and wider communities, directing us toward the need for change. Re-mapping an Ableist World resists the replication of oppression, making this essential reading for those who dare to imagine a better world while despairing of the current one.”

Mapping Bipolar Worlds: Lived Geographies of ‘"Madness"’ in Autoethnographic and Autobiographical Accounts5. What’s Neo-Liberal Global Capitalism Got to Do with It?: Ableness and the Production of Impairment and Disability6. To the Ends of the Earth: Wealth, Poverty, and the Pursuit of Able Embodiment7.
