New book published: Towards Enabling Geographies ‘Disabled’ Bodies and Minds in Society and Space Edited by Prof. Vera Chouinard (McMaster), Dr. Ed Hall (Dundee) and Dr. Rob Wilton (McMaster) Reviews of the book: 'This edited collection showcases some of the most innovative work currently being undertaken in the "second wave" of geographies of disability. Its engagement with other bodies of difference broadens and deepens our understanding of disability; emphasising the importance of spatially infused interpretations of embodiment and disability; the growing importance of technology in disabled people’s lives; and the ever important issues of policy and politics.' Christine Milligan, Lancaster University, UK 'The editors are to be congratulated on this rich and rewarding collection that reflects the place of disability as a deepening stream within geographical inquiry.'
