PhD Thesis: "Cripping Justice: Enabling Theory on Disability". I look at different models used to define disability in law and the impact of using different models on enforcing disability rights. This is also affected by models of equality and theories of justice, to the extent that they consider disablement a subject of justice. I develop the Devaluation Model of Disability as an alternative understanding of disability that addresses the gaps in existing models of disablement.
