Dear All
Below are details about a new book from the Disability Press that
will probably address some of the issues that have recently been
discussed on this list.
It includes Mike Oliver's last article before he retired last year and
also probably the final contribution from the much missed Mairian
Scott Hill.
With the very best of wishes

Implementing the Social Model of Disability:
Theory and Research
Edited by Colin Barnes and Geof Mercer
This book contains 13 chapters on the theoretical and research
implications of the social model of disability. Over the last three decades
disability activists have established the social model of disability as a
comprehensive critique of mainstream academic theories and policy
approaches. The contributors, including established figures and
newcomers to the field, raise a number of important controversies and
concerns central to theorising and researching disability in the 21st century.
Taken together they provide ample testimony to the continuing vitality of
debates around the social model in disability studies. It will prove to be an
invaluable addition to the growing body of knowledge that underpins
disabled people’s ongoing struggle for a fair and just society.
