Disability Policy and Practice:
Applying the Social Model
Edited by Colin Barnes and Geof Mercer
'Disability Policy and Practice: Applying the Social Model of Disability' contains thirteen chapters on the application of social model inspired thinking on social policy in Britain. The contributors include established figures and newcomers to the field. They raise a range of important issues and concerns central to theorising and researching disability policy and practice spanning employment, housing, higher education with examples from England, Scotland, and Wales, social 'care', independent living and leisure and social relations. Together they provide ample evidence of the continuing relevance of debates emanating from the social model of disability within disability studies and related disciplines. This book will be of particular interest to academics, researchers, professionals, disabled people and lay audiences with an interest in disability issues and the on going struggle for a more equitable and just society.
Disability Policy and Practice: Applying the Social Model' is also available on request at no additional cost on CD, in PDF format, for ease of access for people who require alternative formats.
