About this book
Reviews
“This analysis may be resonant for scholars interested in the discourse and history around expanding postsecondary opportunities for students with intellectual disabilities, as well as practitioners interested in ways of historically and theoretically situating their efforts to expand higher education … .” (Julia Rose Karpicz, Disability Studies Quarterly, dsq-sds.org, Vol. 40 (1), 2020)
“The book not only offers invaluable contributions to modern research but also does an effective job in securing the multidisciplinary nature of disability studies within a wider social and economic context. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, … who is interested in creating, or influencing, true and meaningful social change.” (Lauren Hamilton, Disability & Society, May 03, 2019)
