«This book offers a welcome and timely understanding of human differences which moves away from deficit-based and often derogatory assumptions, to understanding difference in historical, social, and cultural contexts. It demonstrates how DSE can create new understandings and bring about much-needed social change, and should be read by all those who wish to rethink current educational responses to disability.» (Sally Tomlinson, Professor Emeritus, Oxford University) «This text adds meanings to disability studies we didnt know were there. It reveals the usefulness and potency of the field. It stretches and expands our thinking, our practice, and our actions.» (Simi Linton, author of Claiming Disability: Knowledge and Identity and co-producer and co-director of the documentary film Invitation to Dance) «This book offers a welcome and timely understanding of human differences which moves away from deficit-based and often derogatory assumptions, to understanding difference in historical, social, and cultural contexts.
