Hi Eva,
Good to see you are continuing to delve into disability and sexuality. There is an abundance of literature on marginalization and exclusion of disabled people generally speaking in disability studies. I would think that you not only need to historically describe marginalization but also provide some theoretical understanding of this process. Some initial refs that would be useful for you to begin with are listed below. Keep up the good work in Queers on Wheels. Good luck with your thesis,
Russell

Also there are many readers available on different aspect of disability studies or different theories many chapters which include conceptually sophisticated analyses of disabililty history. For history specifically look up Paul Longmore's edited volume and his own work

Hey all,
My name is Eva and I'm doing my thesis on why the disabled community is so
afraid of sexuality. I'm going to begin with a brief history of
marginalization of people with disabilities. I was wondering if you all
could point me to some books or articles that discuss this topic. Thanks so
much, and I'm excited there's a list serve for disabled research.
-Eva
