Download or read book Inclusive Sustainability written by Ottavio Quirico and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In light of the third-generation concept of ‘inclusive sustainability’, the volume explores the architecture of global disability governance and its degree of harmonisation. The book integrates socio-cultural, economic, political and legal analyses from an international and comparative perspective. The first part of the volume outlines a tripartite systematisation of disability rights for States and non-state persons. In light of essential economic considerations, the second part explores the relationship between disability and specific fundamental rights and regimes, particularly the rights to life, health, education, work and participation. The third part takes an institutional approach and focuses on the way in which the UN and regional organisations regulate disability (rectius, different ability).
Download or read book Social Research and Disability written by Ciaran Burke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Research and Disability argues that the contemporary rules of sociological methods outlined in numerous research methods texts make a number of assumptions concerning the researcher including ambulance, sight, hearing and speech. In short, the disabled researcher is not considered when outlining the requirements of particular methods. Drawing upon these considerations, the volume emphasizes how disabled researchers negotiate the empirical process, in light of disability, whilst retaining the scientific rigour of the method. It also considers the negative consequences arising from disabled researchers’ attempts at "passing" and the benefits that can emerge from a reflexive approach to method. This innovative and original text will, for the first time, bring together research-active academics, who identify as being disabled, to consider experiences of being disabled within a largely ableist academy, as well as strategies employed and issues faced when conducting empirical research. The driving force of this volume is to provide the blueprints for bringing how we conduct social research to the same standards and vision as how the social world is understood: multi-faceted and intersectional. To this end, this edited collection advocates for a sociological future that values the presence of disabled researchers and normalises research methods that are inclusive and accessible. The interdisciplinary focus of Social Research and Disability offers a uniquely broad primary market. This volume will be of interest not only to the student market, but also to established academics within the social sciences.
Download or read book Australia s Engagement with Economic and Social Rights written by Russell Solomon and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a contemporary socio-legal study of Australia’s protection of economic and social rights. Despite Australia’s hortatory language of compliance with international rights standards, its translation of these standards into domestic law and policy has been found wanting. In considering Australia’s compliance across the policy areas of health, housing, labour and social security, it is argued that Australia’s failings can be understood in terms of its institutional framework. This framework provides incomplete legal protection for rights and leaves that protection almost exclusively in the realm of politics and policymaking, an arena still dominated by neoliberalism and a political culture averse to the protection and promotion of economic and social rights.

Edited by experienced and widely respected professionals, this textbook is written by international practitioners, educators and researchers who all play critical roles in working with individuals with intellectual disability and their families.

Contemporary organizations are faced with increasingly rapid and dramatic change within their political, cultural and technological environments.

The book examines available theory concerning organizational contingency, adaptation and population ecology.

Download or read book The Reigning Black Sheep written by Agnes G and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-03-16 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the life of one son who, when aged, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. His “green” parents really did know nothing of the disability in any form nor of the epilepsy that would eventuate. This one son turned their lives upside down and also added more growth than they could envision. To his temper tantrums to his parenting to his lifestyle, he wanted it all and fought to get it in the best way he knew—his temper. It also takes the reader on a journey of the forty-year history in disability and its changes over that time period. It is challenging, interesting, and momentous. It’s quite a journey, but it’s one with an outstanding show of strength that the united family took on and how they met every challenge. They had some failures, but with this one son, a stable future reigns.
