TIE Preview of Upcoming Reads in Disability Studies, 2026
Posted on July 7, 2026 in Upcoming Reads
Disability Pride Month is here once again, the annual commemoration of the ADA being signed into law after decades of strident activism. Last year’s upcoming reads feature noted the added importance of recognizing Disability Pride Month in the current climate, given political attacks on disability rights. This year, unfortunately, the landscape hasn’t improved. In fact, just recently, the Department of Justice issued a memo making it easier for disabled individuals to be institutionalized, receiving swift pushback from disability activists, who argued that such a policy would be a severe regression. This situation only underscores the reality that the fight for disability rights is always ongoing. In recognition of this, TIE is proud to share another iteration of forthcoming titles in disability studies to center disabled voices and experiences, push back against efforts at erasure, and highlight channels for protecting disability rights.
