Expanding Ableism: Taking down the Ghettoization of Impact of Disability Studies Scholars

Gregor Wolbring

Societies, 2012, vol. 2, issue 3, 1-9

Abstract: This paper highlights the utility of an expanded ableism concept beyond how it is used in disability studies; expanding the concept of ableism so it connects with all aspects of societies and making ableism applicable to many academic fields. It introduces this expanded form of ableism as a new angle of cultural research and suggests it to be one possible venue for disability studies scholars to escape the ghettoization of their impact.
