Disability: social aspects Books
Cambridge University Press The Politics of Bathroom Access and Exclusion in
Book SynopsisThe past twenty years have seen an explosion of state laws focused on bathroom access, including laws that both restrict and expand the ability of people to access basic needs in public. Through an analysis of several distinct state-level policies that regulate bathrooms along the dimensions of gender and gender roles, gender identity, and disability, the author argues that bathroom access is an important aspect of citizenship, signaling both physical and symbolic exclusion and inclusion. Social citizenship requires that individuals and groups be able to fully take part in the public sphere, yet denying toilet access means that individuals can only exist in public for as long as they can ''hold it.'' Thus, ensuring equal access to bathrooms ? or denying it to targeted groups ? becomes a powerful way for society to define who is a full citizen and to indicate who belongs and who doesn''t in public spaces.

Taylor & Francis The Museum Accessibility Spectrum
Book SynopsisThe Museum Accessibility Spectrum engages with discussions around access to museums and argues that what is impairing the progress of museums towards inclusion is the current ableist model of access.Drawing on contributors from international museum researchers, practitioners, artists, and activists, this volume challenges the notion of the core âableâ museum visitor and instead proposes all individuals are positioned on a multidimensional Accessibility Spectrum, which incorporates intersecting physical, sensory, neurodivergent, and social and cultural dimensions. It explores the ways in which access provisions designed to enhance the experience of a minority can enhance the museum experience for all visitors. A constructively critical approach is taken to practice-based chapters, using case studies and approaches from around the globe, split into three main sections. Within the Disability Gain section, the authors consider the benefits of inclusive design, perspectives

Taylor & Francis Arguing Identity and Human Rights
Book SynopsisArguing Identity and Human Rights poses open questions about how to best argue for human rights, to help us think through the advantages and trade-offs of different rhetorical strategies, identify rival options, and, ultimately, choose our own paths. Modeling a humane approach to human rights argument, this book offers four deep rhetorical analyses of some of the most vexing and fascinating challenges facing human rights arguers in the United States: How do we want to frame difference in human rights advocacyâare we trying to downplay difference or something else? How can we best answer dismissive responses to human rights arguments? Should we portray people in marginalized categories as having âœno choiceâ about their identity, and what would alternatives look like? What are the possibilities and perils of trying to âœafflictâ audiences with hegemonic identities to persuade them on human rights issues? Offering clear practical and theoretical implications while resiTrade ReviewDoug Cloud has written a funny, personal, scholarly, and provocative exploration of the implications and consequences of imagining "human rights activism" in terms of choices and options we have in conversations. - Trisha Roberts-Miller, Professor Emeritus, Department of Rhetoric and WritingThis is a ground-breaking introduction to the art of advocacy for students and activists—one that turns the discussion of human rights, identity, racism, gender, rhetoric, and education into a decision to take personal action. But how—in the face of aggressively competing intellectual, ideological, and political stances, each telling us what we "should do"? Instead, Arguing Identity and Human Rights invites the reader to think through the built-in "tensions" and potential outcomes a given choice involves as we shape our own approach to difference, agency, language, critique, or social change.- Linda FlowerCloud offers us a courageous, much-needed, and disarmingly personal guide to how we might think about our rhetorical options when we argue for human rights. Unlike other advice books on social justice advocacy, which tell readers what to think and what to do, Cloud trusts his readers to use their hearts and their brains to make strategic and humane rhetorical decisions that best fit them and their very human situations. This empowering book is for anyone who wants to take a truly rhetorical approach to arguing for equity and inclusion in a complex and complicated world.- Martin Camper, Director of the Center for the Humanities, Associate Professor of Writing, Loyola University Maryland, Author of Arguing over Texts: The Rhetoric of Interpretation Table of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Accessibility Denied. Understanding Inaccessibility and Everyday Resistance to Inclusion for Persons with Disabilities
Book SynopsisThis book explores the societal resistance to accessibility for persons with disabilities, and tries to set an example of how to study exclusion in a time when numerous policies promise inclusion. With 12 chapters organised in three parts, the book takes a comprehensive approach to accessibility, covering transport and communication, knowledge and education, law and organisation. Topics within a wide cross-disciplinary field are covered, including disability studies, social work, sociology, ethnology, social anthropology, and history. The main example is Sweden, with its implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities within the context of the Nordic welfare state. By identifying and discussing persistent social and cultural conditions as well as recurring situations and interactions that nurture resistance to advancing accessibility, despite various strong laws promoting it, the book's conclusions are widely transferable. It argues Table of ContentsIntroduction: Into the fields of stubborn obstacles and lingering exclusion. Part 1 - City and transport. 1. Accessible enough?
