Anthropology and Disability: Studies and Information Publications

Summary: The Anthropology and Disability: Studies and Information database at Disabled World (DW) includes a variety of publications such as recent discoveries, anthropological news, and scholarly articles that focus on the intersection of anthropology and disability studies. This collection encompasses research from both sociocultural anthropology, which examines cultural interpretations of disability, and social anthropology, which studies social structures and relationships. Additionally, the database covers medical anthropology, investigating health, disease, and biocultural adaptation, particularly how these relate to disability in different cultural contexts. The database is regularly updated and offers search and sort functionalities for user convenience.

Searching the Database: The data table below lists articles and research papers from our Anthropology and Disability category. Some items may be updated or revised, but the table defaults to sorting by descending publication date; you can search and sort by clicking column headers (JavaScript required).
