Reviews
"""As universities charge their offices of disability services with the challenge of advising instructors on reasonable educational accommodations, too often disabled students experience a yawning gap between what is provided and what they actually need. Inaccessible Access thoughtfully and wisely enters into that gap, or those many gaps, to explore, document, and problematize the complex terrain. This book launches a much-needed conversation about how universities can better accept, value, and support disabled students.""--Scot Danforth ""editor of Becoming a Great Inclusive Educator"" ""With ethnographic detail and theoretical rigor, Inaccessible Access makes an essential contribution to critical access studies, showing that disability inclusion, equity, and justice are much more complicated than legal regimes make them out to be. A must-read for students, faculty, and administrators in higher education.""--Aimi Hamraie ""author of Building Access: Universal Design and the Politics of Disability"""
