Practicing Disability Studies in Education: Acting Toward Social
Change celebrates the diversity of contemporary work being developed
by a range of scholars working within the field of Disability Studies
in Education (DSE). The central idea of this volume is to share ways
in which educators practice DSE in creative and eclectic ways in order
to rethink, reframe, and reshape the current educational response to
disability. Largely confined to the limitations of traditional
educational discourse, this collective (and growing) group continues
to push limits, break molds, assert the need for plurality, explore
possibilities, move into the unknown, take chances, strategize to
destabilize, and co-create new visions for what can be, instead of
settling for what is. Much like jazz musicians who rely upon one
another on stage to create music collectively, these featured scholars
have been – and continue to – riff with one another in creating
the growing body of DSE literature. In sum, this volume is DSE «at
work.»
