Abstract

The papers in this roundtable take a critical look at how disability is constructed in schools both through accountability and schooling structures as well as through literature. Several of these papers offer us a critical perspective about how disability is constructed and dealt with in schools and literature, while the other papers offer us ideas for how to use literature and digital literacy to transform our understandings of disability and improve educational practice
