Dear Nagase and Satoshi (and Devva, Larry & Corrine who will I replied to
offline)
Thank you to your responses about the Japanese situation. I am hosting a
postgraduate student from Japan to discuss barrier-free environments in
Sydney on 22 February and look forward to discussing the Japanese situation
further.
It is interesting that as yet, no one has been able to provide a recent
exploration of this issue. Anecdotally there has been a tremendous growth
in courses with the nomenclature of disability studies, although many of
these are rebadged from medical paradigms. I'm hopeful that there is a
section or a chapter in a recent book that has addressed this question.
Thanks again.
Kindest regards
Simon
