We are pleased to announce the publication of a new title in the
Disability Press book series, conceived, written and edited by
disability studies PhD students.
Disability Studies; emerging insights and perspectives
Edited by Thomas Campbell, Fernando Fontes, Laura Hemingway, Armineh
Soorenian and Chris Till (University of Leeds)
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/disability-studies/books/book10.htm
Disability Studies has established itself as an increasingly important
discipline in its own right, pushed forward by disabled people and their
allies. This book contributes to the field, by providing original and
exciting insights and perspectives from newcomers. A selection of papers
presented at the 'Centre for Disability Studies Postgraduate Research
Student Conference', held at the University of Leeds, are documented
here. The nine chapters in this book detail both emergent areas of
theoretical and empirical enquiry and address issues such as: access to
education, the affirmation model, anorexia nervosa, international
perspectives of disability, notions of 'perfect sex' and sociologies of
impairment. This book will therefore be of interest to those concerned
with cutting edge research in Disability Studies and related fields.
