Making and Unmaking Disability: The Three-Body Approach - Hardcover
by Julie E. Maybee (Author)
In this new theoretical approach to disability, Maybee traces societal constructions of human physicality along three dimensions: the personal body, the interpersonal body, and the institutional body. Each dimension has played a part in defining people as disabled in terms of employment, healthcare, education, and social and political roles.
JULIE E. MAYBEE is professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy as well as the director of the interdisciplinary Disability Studies Minor at Lehman College, City University of New York (CUNY). She also teaches in the Disability Studies Master's Program for CUNY's School of Professional Studies. For many years, her research areas were nineteenth-century Continental philosophy, particularly the work of G. W. F. Hegel, Africana philosophy, and race and philosophy. After her daughter had a brain aneurysm and came to be what our society would call "disabled" in 2002, Maybee became interested in the analysis of disability as a social category.
