Concept

Framework for Disability Studies

DS emerged as an interdisciplinary field rejecting deficit-driven ideologies and advocating for full societal inclusion of disabled people. Rooted in poststructuralism and postmodernism, it emphasizes activism and social/political transformation rather than medical intervention. The field privileges voices of disabled people and examines disability as socio-political-cultural phenomenon. DS challenges traditional academic approaches that pathologize difference.
