Description
Righting Educational Wrongs brings together the work of scholars from the fields of disability studies in education and law to examine contemporary struggles around inclusion and access to education. Divided into three parts, the volume explores the intersections between disability studies, law, and education in part one. Contributors in this section forge a theoretical framework for thinking about educational access. Part two takes a critical look at some of the histories of exclusion in education and ways that these exclusions have been upheld by a variety of educational policies and practices. Part three reflects on the ways that the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act is experienced by students with disabilities and their families.
Advance Praise
"An outstanding contribution to the literature of both disability law and disability studies, effectively making connections between the two."—Ruth Colker, Moritz College of Law, Ohio State University
"Educational contexts have long associated disability with legal matters. Disability is situated educationally within legalisms dependent on diagnosis, eligibility, and IEP's. Fearful of liability and litigation, universities employ rigid accommodation policies that undermine inclusive community. Habituated in the exclusion of difference, K-12 schools perpetuate what Foucault calls the discourse of individualization, alienating children from their classmates. The chapters in this volume confront these issues, and more, head-on with powerful analysis and insight. This book will become required reading in disability studies in education."
