Scholar activism
In this chapter, we explore the concept of scholar activism. We draw on our experiences as mothers of disabled children, activists and academics, and include case study examples to illustrate the ways in which we make sense of, and attempt to enact, scholar activism.

I based members' positions within the hierarchy on their perceived level of commitment to the scene. Within the group, three categories of pun…
