This module introduces students to the nature and lived experience of disability inequalities in contemporary global contexts. Taking as its starting point the concepts of equality and inequality, it considers the differing ways these and related concepts like justice, fairness and entitlement are articulated and applied in relation to disability. This module provides a foundational knowledge for identifying, resisting, challenging and reworking definitions and classifications of disability and of disabling barriers and practices they are explored in greater depth in subsequent modules.
