Inaccessible Access ethnographically addresses barriers to inclusion within knowledge-making. It focuses on the social, environmental, communicative, and epistemological barriers that people with disabilities confront and embody throughout the course of their learning and living and in the specific context of their higher education institutions and in research. It is presented by a neurodiverse, disabled, and non-cis cohort of authors, all of whom acknowledge a continuum of (in)access that is available to each contributor contingent on their inherent intersectionalities and alterities. The authors and editors of this book foreground the work that has yet to be done on recognizing the value of nonnormative ways of approaching, being in, and knowing research and higher education, particularly in cases where disablity-centered epistemologies are sidelined in confrontation with institutional norms, even within existing discourses concerning equality and alterity.

Recenzii

"This type of research-based literature may contribute to a significant strengthening of critical social work and disability research in modern society. . . . The book’s great merits are the language used in the field of disability and the critical perspectives (lived experience). . . . The book provides valuable scientific and practical knowledge about the conditions and opportunities for developing universities into inclusive workplaces for all."
"With ethnographic detail and theoretical rigor, Inaccessible Access makes an essential contribution to critical access studies, showing that disability inclusion, equity, and justice are much more complicated than legal regimes make them out to be. A must-read for students, faculty, and administrators in higher education."
"As universities charge their offices of disability services with the challenge of advising instructors on reasonable educational accommodations, too often disabled students experience a yawning gap between what is provided and what they actually need. Inaccessible Access thoughtfully and wisely enters into that gap, or those many gaps, to explore, document, and problematize the complex terrain. This book launches a much-needed conversation about how universities can better accept, value, and support disabled students."
