Oxford University Press Oxford Handbook of Sociology of Disability - Reference

The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Disability offers comprehensive scholarly analysis of disability from sociological perspectives. Published by Oxford University Press, this authoritative reference work examines the social structures, cultural contexts, and institutional frameworks that shape disability experiences and identities. The handbook brings together leading researchers and theorists to explore how disability intersects with society, covering historical trajectories, contemporary issues, and emerging fields of study. Designed for academics, researchers, students, and professionals working in disability studies, social policy, and related disciplines, this volume provides in-depth chapters on disability theory, social movements, policy approaches, and lived experiences across diverse global contexts. As part of the Oxford Handbooks Series, it represents rigorous, peer-reviewed scholarship that advances understanding of disability as a complex social phenomenon rather than merely a medical or individual concern.
