This ground-breaking volume considers what it means to make claims of
disability membership in view of the robust Disability Rights
movement, the rich areas of academic inquiry into disability,
increased philosophical attention to the nature and significance of
disability, a vibrant disability culture and disability arts movement,
and advances in biomedical science and technology. By focusing on the
statement, "We are all disabled", the book explores the following
questions: What are the philosophical, political, and practical
implications of making this claim? What conceptions of disability
underlie it? When, if ever, is this claim justified, and when or why
might it be problematic or harmful? What are the implications of
claiming "we are all disabled" amidst this global COVID-19 pandemic?
These critical reflections on the boundaries of disability include
perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, law, and the arts.
In exploring the boundaries of disability, and the ways in which these
lines are drawn theoretically, legally, medically, socially, and
culturally, the authors in this volume challenge particular
conceptions of disability, expand the meaning and significance of the
term, and consider the implications of claiming disability as an
identity. It will be of interest to a broad audience, including
disability scholars, advocates and activists, philosophers and
historians of disability, moral theorists, clinicians, legal scholars,
and artists.
