Titchkosky's questions offer a nuanced and yet very hard-hitting phenomenological analysis of embodiment in higher educational institutions. This transforms the discussion of \"access\" as a bureaucratic procedural legality into a wonderful concept that relies on the intimacy of narrative, metaphor, and embodiment to foreground a politics of transformation. I suggest that this text be required reading in courses in higher education administration as well as all sociology courses.' -- Nirmala Erevelles, Department of Educational Leadership, Technology, and Policy Studies, The University of Alabama 'The Question of Access provides a very critical deconstruction of disability, disability studies, and even what it means to be dis\/abled... This is a brilliant text that asks the readers to rethink their own critical understandings of accesses, even in the supposedly diverse and understanding settings of academia.' -- Allison Hitt The Canadian Journal of Disability Studies vol 01:01:2012 'Through narratives of struggle and analyses of policy and everyday practice, The Question of Access presents a thoughtful, important perspective. The book is a much needed resource with which to generate further discussion and positive change in and outside of the academy.' -- Nancy Hansen CAUT Bulletin, vol 59:03:2012 'The Question of Access is exemplary both in its development of useful concepts for Disability Studies and as a methodological demonstration of how storytelling, perception, and rationality produce new ways of understanding disability.' -- Aimi Haliraie Disability Studies Quarterly vol 33:01:2013 'Tanya Titchkosky offers a thoughtful discussion of disability related issues...This book is relevant to diverse audiences, scholars, policy makers, students, and anyone interested in examining socio-political constitutions of disabled subjects and issues of access.' -- Mark Castrodale Canadian Journal of Disability Studies, vol 3:01:2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  Preface  1 Introduction: Accessas an Act of Perception  2 'Who?': DisabilityIdentity and the Question of Belonging  3 'What?': RepresentingDisability  4 'Where?': To Pee or Not to Pee  5 'When?
