A timely and clear-minded view of the politics of inclusion in higher education. Jan Grue , Professor of Sociology, University of Oslo In this cogent, accessible book, Lid reminds us of the importance of thinking about and supporting access to higher education for disabled people as a human right. She draws on the CRPD and rich anecdotal evidence to contemplate the individual, local, and global implications of legislative enactments and personal and institutional efforts to make higher education institutions more accessible. This book should be necessary reading for advocates and students and scholars alike. Michael Rembis , Director of the Center for Disability Studies at The State University of New York, University at Buffalo and author of Writing Mad Lives in the Age of the Asylum In this book, Inger Marie Lid, a professor living with disabilities, examines the realities and experiences of disability in higher education institutions in Norway and beyond, offering a personal perspective. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is used critically to help readers understand the relational nature of disability. The book is useful for understanding our reality. Hisayo Katsui , Professor in Disability Studies, University of Helsinki, President of the Nordic Network on Disability Research.
