Never mind universities it would appear that disability discourse has yet to
make any impact whatever into the teaching of pyscology and sociology below
tertiary level. Indeed the failure to include it cost me a grade in my
Pyscology A level I am sure, because I doubt much from the way I ansered one
question that the markers had any idea what I was on about and disallowed
the question after I bothered to get the script back and find out where I
went wrong.
And currently studying Sociology at A level it is just not there in the
curriculum either whereas it deserves equal billing with deconstructions
based upon race and gender.
Disability does exist within media studies fortunatly but whether it impacts
upon literary criticism I cannot say
Perhaps its relative abscence from Universities is a funtion of the way that
it is still not mainstream at any level where future University students are
drawn from.
