Abstract

For over 20 years, Tom Shakespeare has been at the forefront of challenging received wisdom within Disability Studies. He has been critical of what he sees as its often weak empirical basis: this edited volume aims to tackle that flaw, offering evidence to address gaps in knowledge and understanding and to support policy change. The book also aims to answer the question ‘What are we doing, when we do disability research?’
