Addressing Ableism: Philosophical Questions via Disability Studies | Jennifer Scuro

1 post

This book outlines the scale and scope of ableist bias, as it manifests both institutionally and intergenerationally. Ranging across disability studies, continental philosophy, and bioethics, the philosophical questions addressed in this work confront and resist ableism as it frames our world in uninhabitable and unsustainable ways.

Addressing Ableism: Philosophical Questions via Disability Studies | Jennifer Scuro

I've seen some in the disability community call for alternatives to #lame in everyday use. The Oxford English Dictionary tells us that lame means “disabled or impaired in any way; paralyzed; unable to move" so its modern use as a synonym for "uncool" or "undesirable" is seen by some as #ableist language. #QuotsyFeb19
