Disability and the university : a disabled students' manifesto
Christopher McMaster (Editor), Ben Whitburn (Editor), Michael Oliver
Disability at the University is written by those that have traversed the terrain and experienced higher education with a disability. It is in many ways a manifesto, a call for change, a call to action. It is a guide book, a blueprint, and a tool, for both students and universities
