The citation says she gave permission to be used as the example, but... her book "A Disability History of the United States," which was published in 2012, begins with a personal note disclosing everything mentioned here as things she DOESN'T generally disclose, and in detail. This is her only book that is on Amazon.com, so I assume it's the most widely-known one and that students or other scholars would have easy access to it (the disclosure part is in the free "look within" preview). Maybe she used to not disclose her relationship with disability and that's where the example is coming from? I'm probably being too nitpicky, and I'm willing to believe that in general disability scholars don't disclose, but Nielsen seems more like an example of a disability scholar who's made a point of making her present and past relationship with disability common knowledge and bringing it up as a relevant point to her writing.adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665028373027605232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-73133461571818762502013-07-26T21:23:11.732-04:002013-07-26T21:23:11.732-04:00So I've got two CP friends I reference here.

Thanks for bringing it up.

If I don't disclaim ahead of time...Fair enough. If I don't disclaim ahead of time that I know I'm being picky, I tend to piss off people, so my pendant alert is more to forestall accusations of unreasonability. I wouldn't have brought it up if I didn't know from reading your blog that you're the sort who actually gives a damn about this stuff. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-23955239652631548852013-07-26T07:34:04.041-04:002013-07-26T07:34:04.041-04:00I'll check with my friend, then.

I shouldn't throw stones about language statements of the "heads up that the group you're referring to often has a different preference from what you used" sort.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413844178426365789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-69092700623256885612013-07-26T06:12:59.685-04:002013-07-26T06:12:59.685-04:00*pendant alert* I don't know about your friend...*pendant alert* I don't know about your friend, but my cousin with cerebral palsy prefers "CP" over "palsy" for short because CP is specific but there's more than one type of palsy. */pendant*<br /><br />Otherwise, congratulations on your citation!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
