Description
Appearance, Disability and the Law provides a comprehensive legal analysis of how physical appearance intersects with disability rights and social justice. Hannah Saunders explores the limitations of current disability law in protecting individuals discriminated against based on appearance, examining why appearance-based discrimination often falls outside traditional disability frameworks.
The book investigates the philosophical and practical implications of appearance discrimination, questioning assumptions about what constitutes disability. It addresses contemporary cases and legal precedents while proposing potential reforms to existing legislation. Saunders considers how appearance discrimination affects employment, healthcare, and public accommodation access.
Part of the Cambridge Bioethics and Law series, this work bridges bioethics, disability studies, and legal scholarship, offering essential insights for policymakers, legal professionals, and disability advocates seeking to understand and address systemic discrimination based on physical appearance.
