This book examines the role of disability in the right to political and social participation, an act of citizenship that many disabled people do not enjoy.The disability rights movement does not accept the use of disability to create limits on citizenship, which poses challenges for contemporary societies that will become ever greater as the science and technology of enhancing human abilities evolves. Comprised of eight chapters, three interludes, and a postscript written by leading scholars and disability rights activists, the book explores citizenship for people with disabilities from an interdisciplinary perspective using the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as a point of departure and the concept of universal design as a strategy for actualizing full citizenship for all. Situating disability in its historical and cultural contexts, the authors offer directions for rethinking citizenship, including implications for access to the built environment, information and communication systems, education, work, community life and politics.This book will be of interest to all scholars and students working in disability studies, planning, architecture, public health, rehabilitation, social work, and education.

Exploring and addressing disability in higher education, this key title focuses on education as a human rights topic. It provides empirical examples and analyses selected national policies in global contexts to discuss how to facilitate equal access to higher education for students and academics with disabilities.Based on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the author demonstrates how to facilitate equal access to higher education and raise awareness of disability as a human condition and an aspect of diversity in higher education. This book discusses dilemmas with regard to implementing universal design and individual accommodation in order to facilitate for diversity of individuals among students and staff.With chapters covering implementation of the UN CRPD, ableism, recognition theory, disability, universal design, and individual accommodation, this book focuses on the institutional perspective – what are the universities’ responsibilities and how can universities and teachers respond by implementing and practising inclusive policies? It is ideal reading for anyone interested in addressing the topic of disability in higher education.
