Impairment and Disability: Constructing an Ethics of Care That Promotes Human Rights

Hypatia 16 (4):1-16 (2001)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The social model of disability gives us the tools not only to challenge the discrimination and prejudice we face, but also to articulate the personal experience of impairment. Recognition of difference is therefore a key part of the assertion of our common humanity and of an ethics of care that promotes our human rights.
