From Pathology to Public Sphere
In the late 19th century, the so-called »German Method«, which employed spoken language in deaf education, triumphed all over the Western world. At the same time as deaf German schoolchildren were taught to articulate and read lips, an emancipation movement of signing deaf adults emerged across the German Empire. This book tells the story of how deaf people moved from being isolated objects of administration or education, depending on welfare or working in the fields, to becoming an urban middle class collective with claims of self-determination. Main questions addressed in this first comprehensive work on one of the world's oldest movements of disabled people include how deaf organisations emerged, what they fought for, and who was left behind.
Zwischen Fremdbestimmung und Autonomie
Im deutschsprachigen Raum steckt die Erforschung der Geschichte gehörloser Menschen als marginalisierte, sprachlich-kulturelle Minderheit noch in den Anfängen. Dieser Band bietet einen innovativen Blick auf Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz seit dem 18. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart. Unter Einbeziehung der Sichtweisen gebärdensprachlich gehörloser Menschen behandeln die Beiträge Bildungschancen und -methoden, Menschenrechte, Erfahrungen der Unterdrückung und Autonomie sowie die Selbstorganisation in verschiedenen politischen Systemen. Damit wird ein Grundstein gelegt für eine Gehörlosengeschichte im deutschsprachigen Raum, die sich ihrer vielfältigen transnationalen Wurzeln und Einflüsse bewusst ist.
Communicating the History of Medicine
Communicating the History of Medicine offers a collection of case studies on academic outreach from historical and current perspectives. It questions the kind of linear thinking often found in policy or research assessment, instead offering a nuanced picture of both the promises and pitfalls of engaging audiences for research in the humanities.

Rethinking Disability
The act of life is a lived experience, common and unique, that ties each of us to every other lived experience. The fact of disability does not alter this fundamental truth. In this edition of Rethinking Disability: World Perspectives in Culture and Society, we are presented with a system of thinking that considers the values of disability, as a resource, as a creative source of culture that moves disability out of the realm of victimized people and insurmountable barriers, and provides opportunities to use the experience of disability to enter into networks that recognize strengths of differing abilities. The authors within will intrigue you, will move you, will charm you, but always will c...
Accessible America
A history of design that is often overlooked—until we need it Have you ever hit the big blue button to activate automatic doors? Have you ever used an ergonomic kitchen tool? Have you ever used curb cuts to roll a stroller across an intersection? If you have, then you’ve benefited from accessible design—design for people with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities. These ubiquitous touchstones of modern life were once anything but. Disability advocates fought tirelessly to ensure that the needs of people with disabilities became a standard part of public design thinking. That fight took many forms worldwide, but in the United States it became a civil rights issue; activists used...
Krankheit verbindet
Der Patient von heute sucht selbstandig nach Information uber seine Krankheit und Kontakt zu anderen mit dem gleichen Leiden. Dieses Phanomen ist jedoch nicht neu: Der erste europaische Patientenverein, der Heufieberbund von Helgoland, wurde schon 1897 gegrundet. Spater kamen weitere Organisationen dazu, unter anderem 1951 der Deutsche Diabetiker Bund und 1956 die Deutsche Hamophiliegesellschaft. Seit mehr als einem Jahrhundert also schliessen sich Menschen mit bestimmten Krankheiten zusammen, um Aufklarung und Selbsthilfe zu betreiben und ihre politischen Interessen zu vertreten. Damals wie heute begegnen sie dabei der Herausforderung, sich im Gesundheitswesen eine Stimme zu verleihen. Um die heutige medizinische Landschaft zu verstehen, muss uns der historische Hintergrund von Patientenvereinen bewusst sein. Ylva Soderfeldt untersucht die Vorgeschichte der Patientenbeteiligung in der Medizin, die ein neues Licht auf Patienten als medizinische Akteure wirft. Die Annahme, dass Selbsthilfe und Patientengruppen generell subversive Akteure im medizinischen Bereich sind, stellt sie in Frage.

Impure Science
Epstein shows the extent to which AIDS research has been a social and political phenomenon and how the AIDS movement has transformed biomedical research practices through its capacity to garner credibility by novel strategies.
Body and Soul
Alondra Nelson recovers a lesser-known aspect of The Black Panther Party's broader struggle for social justice: health care. Nelson argues that the Party's focus on health care was practical and ideological and that their understanding of health as a basic human right and its engagement with the social implications of genetics anticipated current debates about the politics of health and race.
