Mad Scholars Reclaiming and Reimagining the Neurodiverse Academy

We have lots of personal experience, and lots of scholarship, showing us how ableist academia is and has always been. But this collection instead reveals the power and potential of disabled academics, who are already reshaping and reimagining higher education. This power is reflected in the diverse methods and forms across these twenty-three chapters; this potential can be harnessed by readers like you." - Jay Dolmage, author of Disability Rhetoric

"Mad Scholars critiques academic culture's entrenched ableism and sanism and shows how difficult-still-it is to be recognized as having a positive, credible, valuable Mad subjectivity. The diverse voices in this book give us pathways for leading with care, both for ourselves and others. They reimagine academia. They tell us that our institutions can do better. This is a collection we need." - Elizabeth Brewer, Central Connecticut State University
