"If students and teachers want one resource to assist in their
exploration of disability studies, then this is it. It's
up-to-date, comprehensive and coherent, outlining the key themes
and issues in a readable way. No-one studying disability on an
undergraduate, postgraduate or profession training course should be
without it."
Mike Oliver, Emeritus Professor, University of
Greenwich
"A deep commitment towards the rights of people with
disabilities within the social model of disability shines
throughout the entire book, and drives the reader in exploring
disability theories with interest and passion."
Angela Genova, University of Urbino
"Exploring Disability is an important, up-to-date, critical and
wide-ranging review of key issues that situates the debates and
discussion within the growing literature on disability. Exploring
Disability should be on the reading lists of many disability
studies courses providing as it does the broad overview of where
both the discipline and the movement are today. It is a must for
academics, policy makers, researchers, and the disability
movement."
