Here you can find recent research into disability culture, past and present, with blog posts by researchers, practitioners, and activists. They explore different aspects of disability, from the effects of a disabling society to the assistive technology. They also address historical experiences of disability and examine how to integrate disabled people and their experiences into museums and the heritage sector.
