Theories of disability have developed over the last 30 years in response to the politicization of disabled people and the growing awareness of this political praxis in a myriad of social science, humanities, health, and social welfare disciplines. Disability theory has also connected with and troubled the professions of medicine, social care, social work, psychology, education, nursing, midwifery, and physiotherapy. In similar ways to other transformative enterprises, such as feminism, critical race, postcolonialism, queer, and Marxism, disability theory has developed in highly nuanced, historically contingent, and socioculturally responsive ways. When one thinks about the development of disability theory it is possible to identify a number of aims and ambitions. This entry provides an inevitably partial but hopefully illuminating account of some of the contributions of disability theory.
