      abstract = {This book explores how discursive psychology (DP) research  can be applied to disability and the everyday and  institutional constructions of bodymind differences.  Bringing together both theoretical and empirical work, it  illustrates how DP might be leveraged to make visible  nuanced understandings of disability and difference writ  large. The authors argue that DP can attend to how such  realities are made relevant, dealt with, and negotiated  within social practices in the study of disability. They  contend that DP can be used to unearth the nuanced and  frequently taken for granted ways in which disability is  made real in both everyday and institutional talk, and can  highlight the very ways in which differences are embodied  in social practices specifically at the level of talk and  text. This book demonstrates that rather than simply  staying at the level of theory, DP scholars can make  visible the actual means by which disabilities and  differences more broadly are made real, resisted,  contested, and negotiated in everyday social actions. This  book aims to expand conceptions of disability and to deepen  the at present, primarily theoretical critiques of  medicalization. Jessica Nina Lester is Associate Professor  of Inquiry Methodology in the School of Education at  Indiana University, Bloomington, USA. Dr Lester has  published numerous journal articles, books, and book  chapters focused on discourse and conversation analysis,  disability studies, and more general concerns related to  qualitative research.},
