Davis publishes groundbreaking Disability Studies Reader

The Disability Studies Reader by DHD professor Lennard Davis collects for the first time representative texts from the newly emerging field of disability studies.

This volume represents a major advance in presenting the most important writings about disability with an emphasis on those writers working from a materialist and postmodernist perspective. Drawing together experts in cultural studies, literary criticism, sociology, biology, the visual arts, pedagogy and post-colonial studies, the collection provides a comprehensive approach to the issue of disability.

Contributors include Erving Goffman, Susan Sontag, Michelle Fine and Susan Wendell. Available from Routledge press.
