But many methods of addressing these issues -- installing signs, ramps, and accessible washrooms -- frame disability only as a problem to be 'fixed.' \u003cem\u003eThe Question of Access\u003c\/em\u003e investigates the social meanings of access in contemporary university life from the perspective of Cultural Disability Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough narratives of struggle and analyses of policy and everyday practices, Tanya Titchkosky shows how interpretations of access reproduce conceptions of who belongs, where and when. Titchkosky examines how the bureaucratization of access issues has affected understandings of our lives together in social space. Representing 'access' as a beginning point for how disability can be rethought, rather than as a mere synonym for justice, \u003cem\u003eThe Question of Access\u003c\/em\u003e allows readers to critically question their own implicit conceptions of disability, non-disability, and access.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanya Titchkosky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 144261000X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442610002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Tanya Titchkosky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44761253282047,"sku":"9781442610002","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_901214b1-0142-47e0-ac94-a1c84d47bf94.jpg?v=1706680805","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-question-of-access-tanya-titchkosky-9781442610002","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
