Lived Experiences of Ableism in Academia: Strategies for Inclusion in Higher Education, Paperback

This perceptive collection explores ableism in academia from the viewpoint of academics' personal and professional experiences and scholarship. Through the theoretical lenses of autobiography, autoethnography, embodiment, body work and emotional labour, contributors present insightful and rigorous explorations of being 'othered' in academia. Deeply embedded in personal experiences, this book provides practical examples to develop inclusive universities and a less ableist environment
