Disability and Intersecting Statuses
ISBN: 9781783501564 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Disability can be either an ascribed status or an achieved status and its combination with other statuses will affect the person's social experiences. The term intersectionality has been used most often to discuss the ways in which the dual and simultaneous statuses of 'black' and "female' exist as facets of social structure and culture, interact in both those spheres, and affect individuals in ways which neither one does separately. Little attention has been paid to disability in this context, despite the many parallels to race and gender. This volume challenges critical thinking about the...

Disability as a Fluid State
ISBN: 9780857243775 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Disability is often described in a way that suggests that it is a permanent and relatively stable state. Even when it is described as being socially constructed, the implication is that impairment leads to a permanent status of being 'disabled'. This volume argues that the relationship between impairment (physical state) and disability is neither fixed nor permanent but is fluid and not easily predicted. Furthermore, if this is true, we need to rethink how we are measuring disability. This volume attempts to reconceptualize disability not as static but a dynamic phenomenon which is related to...

Using Survey Data to Study Disability: Results from the National Health Survey on Disability
ISBN: 9780762310074 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The 1994-95 Disability Supplement to the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS-D) sponsored by the US Department of Health and Human Services provided a rich resource for the quantitative studies included in this volume. Nationally-epresentative surveys that focus on collecting more in depth information about persons with disabilities are rare, therefore these studies are unusual in the level of data they include and the important insights into disability issues that they provide. These come at a time when much more information about the experiences of disability is needed to inform policy...

Disability and Community
ISBN: 9780857247995 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume of "Research in Social Science and Disability" brings together interdisciplinary scholarship to examine a wide array of issues related to disability and community, a topic of critical importance academically and politically. The evolving and politically contested notions of community sit at the centre of much of the recent research on disability and, as researchers both create and reflect various ideas of membership when defining "disability" and aggregating individuals, their methodological decisions have significant implications for how we come to understand disability and...

Sociology Looking at Disability: What Did we Know and When Did we Know it?
ISBN: 9781786354785 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Current research in Sociology of Disability has a tendency to assume that very little written in this area until the last 20 years. However, this is not always the case. In part the lack of awareness of older writing occurs because of the ease of computerized searching for recent references or a sense that newer is better. It also reflects the assumption that Sociology as a field has ignored either disability as a social phenomenon or treated it solely as a medical phenomenon. While theorists and introductory textbooks have tended and still tend] to ignore disability as a non-medical...
