Negotiating Disability by Stephanie L Kerschbaum

Disability is not always central to claims about diversity and inclusion in higher education, but should be. This collection reveals the pervasiveness of disability issues and considerations within many higher education populations and settings, from classrooms to physical environments to policy impacts on students, faculty, administrators, and staff.
Joins a growing body of literature on disclosure, passing, and disability identityIts focus on higher education allows for a deep exploration of theory while also illuminating the processes and implications of disclosure in this setting."" - Allison C. Carey, Shippensburg University

""Remarkably thorough and bold . . . the book will inform higher education administrators, staff and faculty who reify the ‘progress narrative’ retold about diversity and inclusion, when such accounts rarely consider disabled faculty and students. This book is sure to become a classic resource for many in higher education."" - Linda Ware, State University of New York at Geneseo
