Jenny I hope this helps:
Extracted from footnote 5:
Ableism” – a network of beliefs, processes and practices that produce a
particular kind of self and body (the corporeal standard) that is projected
as the perfect, species-typical and therefore essential and fully human.
‘Disability’ then, is a diminished state of being human.

Subject: 'Ablist'??
The term 'ablist' was in a quote I used in a chapter of my thesis recently,
and
I have been asked to 'define' it. I know what it means and the context in
which it is used, but can't find a definition or explanation anywhere else
that
I can quote! Can anyone help? Please?
Thanks,
Jenny
