A borderlands view on Latino, Latin Americans, and decolonization
A sociology of impairment
Impairment has a ubiquitous and troublesome position within disability studies. The absence of an effective theoretical understanding of impairment has been a major problem for the field. One way out of this impasse is to situate impairment sociologically. By regarding impairment as a thoroughly social dynamic, and examining it though a sociological lens, it is possible to develop a richer understanding of the experiences, politics, and identitie…
Facilitated communication, Anna Stubblefield and disability studies
This article discusses the case of Anna Stubblefield, a US disability studies scholar and Professor of Ethics at Rutgers University who was sentenced to 12 years in prison for sexually assaulting a disabled man.

The article argues that facilitated communication is unscientific and unreliable, and that the support for Stubblefield from some disability studies scholars raises …

"A War "unlike any other
The hijacked airliners slamming into Manhattan's World Trade Center, Washington's Pentagon, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001 seemed to rip the fabric of American history. In the aftermath of the attacks, panicked national leaders quickly asserted that everything had changed. The nation was in a war “unlike any other we have ever seen,” President George W.

Overlaps and contradictions between queer theory and disability studies
This paper begins by exploring similarities in the experiences of queers and disabled people, such as familial isolation, high rates of violence, stereotypes and discrimination, and the difficulties associated with passing and coming out.

The paper then considers similarities and differences in Queer Theor…
