Disability as Diversity in Higher Education: Policies and Practices to Enhance Student Success

Editat de Eunyoung Kim, Katherine C. Aquino
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2017
Addressing disability not as a form of student impairment—as it is typically perceived at the postsecondary level—but rather as an important dimension of student diversity and identity, this book explores how disability can be more effectively incorporated into college environments. Chapters propose new perspectives, empirical research, and case studies to provide the necessary foundation for understanding the role of disability within campus climate and integrating students with disabilities into academic and social settings. Contextualizing disability through the lens of intersectionality, Disability as Diversity in Higher Education illustrates how higher education institutions can use policies and practices to enhance inclusion and student success.

Recenzii

"This book frames disability as part of the natural and rich continuum of diversity on college campuses. Through a combination of theory, research with students, faculty, and administrators, and the description of innovative and responsive program models, this book extends traditional conversations about services for students with disabilities to new, cutting-edge perspectives and practices."
- Joseph W. Madaus, Professor and Director, Center on Postsecondary Education and Disability, University of Connecticut
"This book explores the experiences of students with disabilities and makes valuable suggestions for how to improve the education and success of such students. Disability as Diversity in Higher Educationis an essential book for faculty, administrators, and students to help combat one of the least recognized but most prevalent forms of discrimination at institutions that pride themselves on their diversity programs."
-Lennard Davis, Distinguished Professor of English in the School of Arts and Professor of Medical Education in the College of Medicine, University of Illinois at Chicago
 "This book offers a comprehensive collection of essays, research reports, and case studies that introduce a new direction for addressing disability on college campuses. Stressing that disability should be considered an aspect of diversity rather than an individual impairment, chapter authors effectively use the sociopolitical model to critique current practices for working with disabled students in higher education and offer alternative strategies to ensure that the college environment is accessible and equitable for all students."
- Nancy Evans, Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Iowa State University
