I think that, at the very least, the first chapter of the book will fit in very well with the vision I have for the class and am looking forward to seeing what my students thing. I especially like that Barnes aims to give a theory of disability that doesn’t begin with the view that being disabled is necessarily a bad thing, which, in turn, allows her to accommodate and explain the disability pride movement(s).

So far I’m finding it very informative, and very clear in terms of style and argumentation. I’m currently working on putting together a syllabus for bioethics that is going to have a big section on disability ethics and am reading Elizabeth Barnes’ book The Minority Body as part of the prep.
