Dan Goodley is Professor of Disability Studies and Education at the University of Sheffield. Dan is interested in theorising and challenging the conditions of disablism (the social, political, cultural and psycho-emotional exclusion of people with physical, sensory and/or cognitive impairments) and ableism (the contemporary ideals on which the able, autonomous, productive citizen is based). His theoretical work combines poststructuralist, postconventionalist, social psychoanalytic and narrative accounts of exclusion and political resistance. He is currently working with colleagues in the University to Sheffield on the development of a new research community – the Institute for the Study of the Human – to explore how we might understand the human in the 21st Century in a time of technological and capitalist advance. Recent texts include Dis/ability Studies (2014, Routledge), Disability Studies (2011, Sage) and Research life stories (with Rebecca Lawthom and others, 2004, Routledge). email: d.goodley@shef.ac.uk, twitter @disabilityuos, web: https://www.shef.ac.uk/
