DAN GOODLEY draws on two decades of research and writing and weaves
personal stories, scholarly literature, social media and other cultural
narratives together with concepts from the interdisciplinary field of
disability studies. His argument is simple: disability invites great
insight into the wider project of understanding the human condition.
Goodley argues that the study of disability is of great importance in
its own right but also has much to offer us all in considering what it
means to be human in the 21st Century. Chapters address questions such
as 'who's allowed to be human?'; 'are human beings dependent?'; and
'what does it mean to be human in the digital age?' and respond to these
questions in ways that get us thinking about how we might productively
engage with, listen to and understand one another.
