Learning Disability and Everyday Life (Routledge Advances in Disability Studies) - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Alex Cockain is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Social Care and The Graduate College at Canterbury Christ Church University. Since his first book entitled Young Chinese in Urban China (2012), much of his work has focused upon issues of social inclusion and social exclusion and especially how ability and disability are made through social encounters, discourse, media representations, and everyday practices. His recent work has also explored the tactics disabled people and their families deploy to cope, and make do, with exclusionary places and practices and the ways they attempt to manage disabling social encounters.
