Ableism in Academia : Theorising experiences of disabilities and chronic illn…

Improving working memory in learning and intellectual disabilities

Academic ableism: Disability and Higher Education
Academic Ableism brings together disability studies and institutional critique to recognize the ways that disability is composed in and by higher education, and rewrites the spaces, times, and economies of disability in higher education to place disability front and center.
