Review Quotes: We have lots of personal experience, and lots of scholarship, showing us how ableist academia is and has always been. But this collection instead reveals the power and potential of disabled academics, who are already reshaping and reimagining higher education. This power is reflected in the diverse methods and forms across these twenty-three chapters; this potential can be harnessed by readers like you.-- "Jay Dolmage, author of Disability Rhetoric"
