Book synopsis

Over the past 15 years, geography has made very significant contributions to our understanding of disabled people's identities, lives and places in society and space. Bringing together the leading scholars in this field, "Towards Enabling Geographies" puts forward the 'second wave' of geographical studies concerned with disability and embodied differences. It shows how this area of study has broadened and challenged conventional boundaries of 'disability', breaking new ground by expanding the kinds of embodied differences considered, while continuing to grapple with important challenges such as policy relevance and the use of more inclusionary research approaches. Theoretically, the book demonstrates the value of a spatial conceptualisation of disability and disablement to a broader social science audience, while examining how this conceptualization can be further developed and refined.
