    A Way Forward: Presenting a Post-modern Framework for Disability
    (University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2010) Carling-Jenkins, Rachel
    People with disability continue to be engaged in a rights struggle which is reinforced through processes of modernity. This paper reviews the modern framework and its far-reaching effects in influencing understandings of disability, using the Australian experience as an example. An alternative post-modern framework is then presented in contrast. A post-modern conceptualisation of disability is presented as a way forward for understanding disability and for application to disability studies and research.

    Disabled Literature—Disabled Individuals in American Literature: Reflecting Culture(s)
    (University of Hawaii at Manoa -- Center on Disability Studies, 2010) Beauchamp, Miles ; Chung, Wendy V. ; Mogilner, Alijandra
    In American literature, disabled characters are often portrayed as “that other” and used to generate fear, pathos, and hatred. This affects how variously-abled individuals are perceived and accepted by society. While writers are being more inclusive and broadening their inventory of characters, many characters are simply a negative plot tool.
