In recent years, disability studies has been driven by a model of disability which focuses on the social and economic oppression of disabled people. Although an important counterbalance to a pathologising medical model, the social model risks presenting an impoverished and disembodied view of disability, one that ignores the psychological nature of oppression and its effects.This innovative work argues that a psychological framework of disability is an essential part of developing a more cohesive disability movement. Brian Watermeyer introduces a new, integrative approach, using psychoanalysis to tackle the problem of conceptualising psychological aspects of life with disablism. Psychoanalytic ideas are applied to social responses to impairment, making sense of discrimination in its many forms, as well as problems in disability politics and research. The perspective explores individual psychological experience, whilst retaining a rigorous critique of social forces of oppression. The argument shows how it is possible to theorise the psychological processes and impressions of discriminatory society without pathologising disadvantaged individuals.Drawing on sociology, social anthropology, psychology and psychoanalysis - as well as clinical material - Towards a Contextual Psychology of Disablism shapes a view of disabled subjectivity which is embodied, internal, and political. Presenting a range of conceptual ideas which describe psychological dynamics and predicaments confronting disabled people in an exclusionary and prejudiced world, this volume is an important new contribution to the literature. It will interest students and researchers of disability studies, including those working within psychology, education, health and social work.

Disability in the Academy

Navigating Ableism in Higher Education

Recently, attention has been paid to higher education institutions as sites of exclusion, where experiences not fitting a narrow view of intellectual life are unwelcome. Perhaps unsurprisingly, discrimination relating to the disabled identity has come very late to this discussion. But ableism in many forms pervades our institutions, casting the lives of disabled people as marginal, even irrelevant, to the academic project. Previously, most of the limited research on ableism in higher education focused on students with disabilities, with virtually no attention paid to the life-worlds of disabled teaching and research staff. This drastically limited our ability to understand how universities reproduce ableist oppression across society. Academics with disabilities, neurodiversity, or chronic illness remain starkly underrepresented in our institutions, silencing the experience of disability in curricula, university life, and the formative worlds of graduates. Disability in the Academy shifts the conversation by introducing readers to the lives of academics with disabilities facing structural and cultural ableism, achieved through the medium of candid, meticulous auto-ethnographic accounts of what it is like to fight for both basic inclusion and the recognition of one's experience in an academy with ableism built into its physical and philosophical foundations. Vibrant, moving, and deeply informative, these accounts will form the basis for an agenda of transformation in higher education, with profound implications for disability rights across society.

This handbook questions, debates and subverts commonly held assumptions about disability and citizenship in the global postcolonial context. Discourses of citizenship and human rights, so elemental to strategies for addressing disability-based inequality in wealthier nations, have vastly different ramifications in societies of the Global South, where resources for development are limited, democratic processes may be uncertain, and access to education, health, transport and other key services cannot be taken for granted. In a broad range of areas relevant to disability equity and transformation, an eclectic group of contributors critically consider whether, when and how citizenship may be used as a lever of change in circumstances far removed from UN boardrooms in New York or Geneva. Debate is polyvocal, with voices from the South engaging with those from the North, disabled people with nondisabled, and activists and politicians intersecting with researchers and theoreticians. Along the way, accepted wisdoms on a host of issues in disability and international development are enriched and problematized. The volume explores what life for disabled people in low and middle income countries tells us about subjects such as identity and intersectionality, labour and the global market, family life and intimate relationships, migration, climate change, access to the digital world, participation in sport and the performing arts, and much else.
