Identity Politics Of Disability: The Other And The Secret Self, Alice Wexler
Identity Politics Of Disability: The Other And The Secret Self, Alice Wexler
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Ambivalence with severe physical and mental abnormality runs deep in pedagogy, but it is only a reflection of an historical ambivalence in western culture. By analyzing institutionalized behaviors towards, and assumptions about, disability in art and education, I hope to speak to the theme of the journal, which is "(Un)becoming."

Individuals who exhibit their disability professionally want to be called performers or entertainers, while the Mothers of Inventions' first album …

The issue of segregation of students with disabilities across cultural groups

families. Lack of understanding about school culture and diverse family
value systems can lead to varying family responses to the school culture,
including assimilation, integration, separation, and marginalization.
Assuming a posture of cultural reciprocity is suggested as a means for education professionals in charter schools to more effectively understand families of children with disabilities. This four-step process includes (a) identifying the education professional’s interpretation of family and child …

Passing or failing the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests in Virginia Can be the difference between ultimately obtaining a regular diploma, modified diploma, or a certificate of completion.
