Her use of theory isn’t about blowing up previous thought; it’s about finding consolation, which literature or philosophy is often said to provide.\" -- Jeffrey J. Williams * Chronicle of Higher Education *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Overall, \u003ci\u003eSexuality, Disability, and Aging \u003c\/i\u003epresents an insightful yet accessible analysis that combines wide-ranging theoretical work with rich interpretive material to carefully reveal the phallic temporalities that underpin contemporary stereotypes of aging and late-onset disability as sexual decline. The book’s cross-cutting relevance means that it will find productive readership across a wide range of scholars interested in queer, crip, gerontological, literary, feminist, or psychoanalytic theory.”\u003c\/p\u003e -- Kazuki Yamada * Journal of Bodies, Sexualities, and Masculinities *\u003cbr\u003e\"An inventive and captivating piece of scholarship. Bolstered by its original findings and the intricate theoretical maneuvers that Gallop makes throughout this text, the book is poised to be a valuable resource for scholars in the fields of queer theory, critical gerontology, and disability studies.\" -- Kyle Christensen * Women's Studies in Communication *\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eSexuality, Disability and Aging\u003c\/i\u003e is a vital read for those interested in disability and sexuality as it contributes to indispensable discussions whilst simultaneously offering an alternative framework with which to aid progression within the field. . . . Gallop has compiled an accomplished text which is forward-thinking, unorthodox and paves the way for further discourse within the realms of disability, and for this, she must be commended.\" -- Bev Pollitt * Disability \u0026amp; Society *\u003cbr\u003e“Gallop’s willingness to reflect critically on her own experiences and reactions . . . reinvigorates feminist psychoanalytic theory, but also productively bridges the silences around aging and late-onset disability endemic to both disability studies and queer theory.” -- Sarah Rainey-Smithback * Hypatia *\u003cbr\u003e\"Gallop makes an important intervention in the study of late life sexuality by connecting it to radical, queer, and alternative temporalities. .  . . It is my hope, and dare I assume Gallop’s hope as well, that this work serves as one of the foundational texts for an expanding collection of work that examines sexuality, disability, and aging through the lenses of crip, queer, aging, and feminist theory.\" -- Hailee Yoshizaki-Gibbons * Poetics Today *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  1x\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Theoretical Underpinnings  1\u003cbr\u003e Crip Theory  1\u003cbr\u003e Aging and Queer Temporality  5\u003cbr\u003e Aging and the Phallus  13\u003cbr\u003e The Queer Phallus  20\u003cbr\u003e Anecdotal Theory  25\u003cbr\u003e 1.
