Highlighting how disability studies has established itself as an increasingly important discipline in its own right, this book adds to the field by providing original insights and perspectives from newcomers. The book presents a selection of papers presented at the ‘Centre for Disability Studies Postgraduate Research Student Conference’, held at the University of Leeds. The nine chapters detail both new areas of theoretical and empirical enquiry and address issues such as: access to education, the affirmation model, anorexia nervosa, international perspectives of disability, notions of ‘perfect sex’ and sociologies of impairment. This book will be of interest to those concerned with cutting edge research in Disability Studies and related fields.
