Chapter 8: Intersections of Discursive Psychology and Disability Studies
In Chapter 8, Emily A. Nusbaum responds to three preceding chapters to demonstrate the methodological compatibility between discursive psychology (DP) and disability studies (DS). She argues that DP serves as a valuable framework for DS because it rejects static foundations of truth and deficit-based models in favor of viewing disability as constructed through discourse,. The author highlights how the previous chapters utilize DP to reveal how interactions regarding school structures, mental health "burdens," and students with complex support needs actively construct disability. Ultimately, Nusbaum posits that DP’s focus on active meaning-making aligns with theoretical advancements in DS, such as cripistemologies and cultural models, by uncovering disability as an ideology rather than a fixed fact.
