Description

Julie E. Maybee uses a unique combination of a comprehensive theory--the three-bodies approach--and concrete examples to trace the social construction of disability and impairment in Western societies and to suggest how disability and impairment may be unmade to better understand and serve those in the community. Through an examination of the history disability as well as of a variety of interdisciplinary sources—disability studies, philosophy, African studies and philosophy, philosophy of science, sociology, medical sociology, anthropology, social work and rehabilitation medicine—Maybee offers a wide-ranging philosophical analysis of existing discourse while developing a new methodology for ongoing debates.

Author Biography:

Julie E. Maybee is professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy as well as the director of the interdisciplinary Disability Studies Minor at Lehman College, City University of New York (CUNY). She also teaches in the Disability Studies Master’s Program for CUNY’s School of Professional Studies. For many years, her research areas were 19th century Continental philosophy, particularly the work of G.W.F. Hegel, African philosophy, and race and philosophy. After her daughter had a brain aneurysm and became what our society would call “disabled” in 2002, Maybee became interested in the analysis of disability as a social category.
