Contours of ableism: the production of disability and abledness
Campbell, Fiona Kumari
Challenging notions of what constitutes 'normal' and 'pathological' bodies, this ambitious, agenda-setting study theoretically reinvigorates disability studies by reconceptualising it as 'studies of ableism' focusing on the practicesand formations of able-bodiedness to uncover what it means to be 'able' rather than 'disabled'.
