The Lexicon of Disability Studies seeks to expand and articulate the conceptual landscape of Disability studies for both scholars and practitioners, addressing some of the most critical debates of our era. These include issues like disease, pain, euthanasia, public transportation accessibility, aesthetics, and deformity.

This volume explores a range of critical concepts, such as 'alienation, ' 'audism, ' 'divyaang, ' 'freak, ' 'identity, ' and 'stigma, ' among others. Rather than treating individual disabilities as standalone keywords, the essays delve into broader ideas that reflect the diverse social and bodily experiences associated with disability. The book examines disability as an embodied condition, a dynamic historical phenomenon, and a multifaceted social, political, and cultural identity.

Serving as an invaluable resource for both students and scholars, The Lexicon of Disability Studies brings previously insular debates within Disability studies into broader critical conversations. It invites fresh theoretical insights into the field's fundamental assumptions from various disciplinary perspectives, making it a vital addition to contemporary discourse.
