The volume engages some of the most pressing debates of our time, such as prenatal testing, euthanasia, accessibility in public transportation and the workplace, post-traumatic stress, and questions about the beginning and end of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach of the 60 essays in \u003ci\u003eKeywords for Disability Studies\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on a distinct critical concept, including \"ethics,\" \"medicalization,\" \"performance,\" \"reproduction,\" \"identity,\" and \"stigma,\" among others. Although the essays recognize that \"disability\" is often used as an umbrella term, the contributors to the volume avoid treating individual disabilities as keywords, and instead interrogate concepts that encompass different components of the social and bodily experience of disability. The essays approach disability as an embodied condition, a mutable historical phenomenon, and a social, political, and cultural identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn invaluable resource for students and scholars alike, \u003ci\u003eKeywords for Disability Studies\u003c\/i\u003e brings the debates that have often remained internal to disability studies into a wider field of critical discourse, providing opportunities for fresh theoretical considerations of the field's core presuppositions through a variety of disciplinary perspectives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVisit \u003ci\u003ekeywords.nyupress.org\u003c\/i\u003e for online essays, teaching resources, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRachel Adams (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eRachel Adams\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
