Lennard J. Davis is Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago in the departments of English, Disability and Human Development, and Medical Education.
"End of Normal is written in a clear and engaging style which will
appeal to undergraduate students, postgraduates and academics alike
from a range of disciplines, including disability studies, cultural
studies, psychiatry and psychology and medical humanities. The book
is easy to read from cover to cover but chapters can stand alone
and allow the reader to dip in and out of some of the contemporary
debates within disability studies that capture their interest."
--Disability Society--Katherine RUnswick-Cole "Disability &
Society" (9/1/2016 12:00:00 AM)
"[Davis] makes a compelling and provocative argument that the
concept of normal has given way to a seemingly more inclusive
umbrella of diversity, yet disability remains excluded."
--Somatosphere--Elizabeth Lewis "Somatosphere" (4/7/2016 12:00:00

"Davis's argument for the overcoming of the humanities/science
division, as well as his prefiguration of an imagination free of
this in each chapter, make The End of Normal essential reading in
both disability studies and the burgeoning field of medical
humanities."
