  • The Playground Model of Disability

    Dis/honesty Tropes in Contemporary British Sociocultural Representation

Such personal interactions are sometimes and, ... Read more

    A Re-reading of Twentieth-Century Anglophone Writing

    by David Bolt ...
    Series series Corporealities: Discourses Of Disability
    Although the theme of blindness occurs frequently in literature, literary criticism has rarely engaged the experiential knowledge of people with visual impairments. The Metanarrative of Blindness counters this trend by bringing to readings of twentieth-century works in English a perspective appreciative of impairment and disability.

    Perspectives from historical, cultural, and educational studies

    Edited by David Bolt ...

    Whilst legislation may have progressed internationally and nationally for disabled people, barriers continue to exist, of which one of the most pervasive and ingrained is attitudinal. Social attitudes are often rooted in a lack of knowledge and are perpetuated through erroneous stereotypes, and ultimately these legal and policy changes are ineffectual without a corresponding attitudinal change ...
