Abstract	Exploring and addressing disability in higher education, this key title focusses on education as a human rights topic. It provides empirical examples and analyses selected national policies in global contexts to discuss how to facilitate for equal access to higher education for students and academics with disabilities. Based on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), the author demonstrates how to facilitate equal access to higher education and raise awareness of disability as human condition and aspect of diversity in higher education. This book discusses dilemmas with regards to implementing universal design and individual accommodation in order to facilitate for diversity of individuals among students and staff. With chapters covering implementation of the UN CRPD, ableism, recognition theory, disability and universal design, this book focuses on the institutional perspective - what are the universities' responsibilities and how can universities and teachers respond by implementing and practicing inclusive policies? It makes ideal reading for anyone interested in addressing the topic of disability in higher education. (HRK / Abstract übernommen).
