Reference no: EM133449361

Question: Why have recent scholars called for examining disability as a "social construct" and for viewing disability as a "category of analysis" alongside the categories of race, class, gender, and sexuality? Why do these contemporary scholars find the traditional "medical model" approach to disability lacking? What criticisms have been levied against the new "social construct" approach? What is your view of the "new disability history" as it has been called?
