Reviews

"Mad Scholars critiques academic culture's entrenched ableism and sanism and shows how difficult--still--it is to be recognized as having a positive, credible, valuable Mad subjectivity. The diverse voices in this book give us pathways for leading with care, both for ourselves and others. They reimagine academia. They tell us that our institutions can do better. This is a collection we need.-- ""Elizabeth Brewer, Central Connecticut State University"""
