Abstract:
Embedded in personal experiences, this collection explores ableism in academia. Through theoretical lenses including autobiography, autoethnography, embodiment, body work and emotional labour, contributors explore being 'othered' in academia and provide practical examples to develop inclusive universities and a less ableist environment.
