"Foundations of Disability Studies" is a collection of eight essays by scholars who have published extensively within the disability studies literature, including Robert Bogdan and Doug Biklen, Tobin Siebers, David Connor and Beth Ferri, Brendan Gleeson, Licia Carlson, Susan Schweik, Ralph Savarese, and Nirmala Erevelles. This volume honors the scholars who have helped build the field, and represents their latest work and most current thinking.

Die Disability Studies erweisen sich als wichtiger Beiträger und Impulsgeber für die wissenschaftliche Disziplin und Profession Sozialer Arbeit. Zugleich ist der Zusammenhang beider Bereiche bisher wenig untersucht, kaum begründet und systematisiert. Das Buch arbeitet diesem Forschungsdesiderat profund und effektiv entgegen. Die Beiträge untersuchen, inwiefern sich die Verbindung zwischen Disability Studies und Sozialer Arbeit bereits als fruchtbar erwiesen hat, noch erweisen könnte oder was einer Verknüpfung im Wege steht. So leistet es einerseits theoretische Grundlagenforschung, indem es den systematischen Einbezug der Disability Studies in die interdisziplinäre Handlungswissenschaft Soziale Arbeit untersucht. Andererseits betreibt es angewandte Wissenschaft, insofern es an Konsequenzen interessiert ist, die sich hieraus für die Sozialarbeitsforschung und die professionelle Praxis ergeben.

A new vocabulary for Disability StudiesKeywords for Disability Studies aims to broaden and define the conceptual framework of disability studies for readers and practitioners in the field and beyond. The volume engages some of the most pressing debates of our time, such as prenatal testing, euthanasia, accessibility in public transportation and the workplace, post-traumatic stress, and questions about the beginning and end of life.Each of the 60 essays in Keywords for Disability Studies focuses on a distinct critical concept, including "ethics," "medicalization," "performance," "reproduction," "identity," and "stigma," among others. Although the essays recognize that "disability" is often used as an umbrella term, the contributors to the volume avoid treating individual disabilities as keywords, and instead interrogate concepts that encompass different components of the social and bodily experience of disability. The essays approach disability as an embodied condition, a mutable historical phenomenon, and a social, political, and cultural identity.An invaluable resource for students and scholars alike, Keywords for Disability Studies brings the debates that have often remained internal to disability studies into a wider field of critical discourse, providing opportunities for fresh theoretical considerations of the field's core presuppositions through a variety of disciplinary perspectives.Visit keywords.nyupress.org for online essays, teaching resources, and more

This article invites disability scholars to "get fat," that is, to support the goals of the fat justice movement. I argue that the contemporary politics of fatness can productively be read through the lens of disability studies' social model. At the same time, I mobilize feminist critiques of the social model to push fat disability studies toward a more in‐depth engagement with the topics of health and illness. Additionally, I contend that feminist scholars' accounts of our personal relationships to fatness and disability can make crucial contributions to our scholarly work. These arguments take shape within a new interpretive framework that I introduce: "setpoint epistemology," which brings together the feminist disability studies notion of "sitpoint theory" and the scientific concept of "setpoint theory."

Disability studies has become a legitimate area of academic study. It is multi-disciplinary in its critique of the oppressions that have historically "dumped" disabled people on the margins of society. This fully revised and updated edition not only explains disability studies as an academic field of inquiry, it also explores many of the current issues affecting the lives and circumstances of disabled people. The book explores and analyzes "quality of life" factors in the lives of disabled people in relation to the professional development of undergraduates and examines the emergence of "right

There is a close, complex, sometimes fractious although usually rich and enriching relationship between Disability Studies and Mad Studies. There have been a number of points of connection, areas of dispute and focused moments of interaction which have enhanced academic and activist debates and practices in both fields. There are shared experiences of marginalised and stigmatised spaces like institutionalised services, of devalued identifies, of welfare (re)classification and more recently of the appropriation and colonisation of ideas and practices by government, policy makers and service providers. This chapter explores this relationship, particularly considering the purpose and implications of social models of disability and madness as well as the interactions between them. Central questions are whether the social model of disability is adequate as a tool to identify the discrimination and oppression experienced by mad people and what the relationship should or could be between social models of disability and madness. Both disciplines grapple with the nature and place of impairment to identity, models and action. As praxis disciplines how Disability and Mad Studies 'do' their work is as important as the work they do and so the chapter concludes that ongoing dialogue is essential to both fields.
