Critical Readings in Interdisciplinary Disability Studies: (Dis)Assemblages (Critical Studies of Education)

Linda Ware, Independent Scholar, survived a lengthy academic career at universities from New Mexico to New York. Her research and scholarship provoked dialogue and debate specific to the limitations of special education as an institutional obstacle to disabled children and youth. Her publications appeared in prestigious national and international academic journals. Ware serves as the lead editor for Critical Leaders and the Foundation of Disability Studies in Education (Brill, 2019), which along with Ideology and the Politics of (in)Exclusion (2004, Peter Lang) elaborate on the necessary distinction between critical disability studies and special education.  She also served as a Section Editor for Beginning with Disability A Primer (2017, Routledge. L. J. Davis, Editor). Ware now happily resides near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
