Publisher Synopsis
'This edited volume is a must read for anyone interested in the study of disability. It offers a variety of qualitative methodologies and methods, written in accessible language to a variety of disciplinary audiences, rendering it ideal for both undergraduate and graduate level programs. Readers will learn about interpretative ways to understand disability and the importance of exposing taken-for-granted disableist norms that inform our social practices, thus making visible the experience of social injustice as we re-think our relationships with each other.' Christina Papadimitriou, Northern Illinois University, USA 'This is an important book. It offers readers rich insights into the process of doing qualitative research. It opens up new research opportunities to work with disabled people and transfer knowledge in highly accessible ways. In so doing, how students, academics, and practitioners might do qualitative inquiry, understand disability, and challenge oppressive practices is expanded.' Brett Smith, Loughborough University, UK 'What a gem! This book by Berger and Lorenz not only engages deeply with disability scholarship, but it's also full of rigorous methodological insight. This book is crucial for anyone interested in researching topics in disability, but also for anyone wanting a greater understanding of a variety of qualitative research methods.' Laura Mauldin, University of Connecticut, USA Read more...
