She obtained her PhD (Distinction) in 2010 from the University of Western Australia. Zusammenfassung Drawing on ten years of in-depth empirical research, this book shows that austerity is the continuum of neoliberal restructuring that has been re-regulating disability since the early 1970s. It argues that disability has become a central category of socio-political economic concern with the global emergence of neoliberalism as policy hegemony.
