    When Fact Conceals Privilege: Teaching the Reality of Disability
    Educational Theory 67 (2): 131-151. 2017.
    Disability studies in education scholars have discussed the need to engage students, and certainly preservice teachers, in critical discussion of disability as a concept.

    The Logic of Deferral: Educational Aims and Intellectual Disability
    Studies in Philosophy and Education 37 (3): 265-285. 2017.
    The educational aims described by educational philosophers rarely embrace the full range of differences in intellectual ability, adaptive behavior, or communication that children exhibit.

The author outlines a form of epistemic injustice that operates through an educational pract…Read more

    The growing field of feminist disability studies explores how human bodies are interpreted through cultural values and expectations surrounding physical and mental ability. This paper contributes to and expands upon this conversation by examining how the ideal of “able-mindedness” functions to maintain racial divisions and inequalities through attributions of cognitive and psychiatric disability to bodies of color. Drawing upon contemporary examples from popular social media, public policy, and …Read more
