  Against Technoableism -...

  When Ashley Shew became a self-described "hard-of-hearing chemobrained amputee with Crohn's disease and tinnitus," there was no returning to "normal." Suddenly well-meaning people called her an "inspiration" while grocery shopping or viewed her as a needy recipient of technological wizardry. Most disabled people don't want what the abled assume they want—nor are they generally asked. 
   
   
   
  In vibrant prose, Shew shows how we can create better narratives and more accessible futures by drawing from the insights of the cross-disability community. To forge a more equitable world, Shew argues that we must eliminate "technoableism"—the harmful belief that technology is a "solution" for disability; that the disabled simply await being "fixed" by technological wizardry; that making society more accessible and equitable is somehow a lesser priority. 
   
   
   
  This badly needed introduction to disability expertise considers mobility devices, medical infrastructure, neurodivergence, and the relationship between disability and race. The future, Shew points out, is surely disabled—whether through changing climate, new diseases, or even through space travel. It's time we looked closely at how we all think about disability technologies and learn to envision disabilities not as liabilities, but as skill sets enabling all of us to navigate a challenging world.

  The Social Animal -...

  Human beings are inherently social creatures, shaped by the need to interact, communicate, and form relationships with others. The social nature of humans is deeply rooted in evolutionary history, where cooperation and group cohesion were essential for survival. Over time, human societies have become increasingly complex, but the fundamental need for social connection remains central to human identity and behavior. This chapter explores the biological, psychological, and sociological foundations of human sociality and how they shape individual and collective behavior. 
  From an evolutionary perspective, human beings have always relied on social bonds for protection, resource sharing, and collective problem-solving. Early human groups depended on coordinated hunting, gathering, and defense mechanisms to survive in harsh environments. Natural selection favored individuals who could effectively communicate, cooperate, and form alliances, leading to the development of social behaviors such as empathy, altruism, and social hierarchies. The human brain evolved to process social information, with structures such as the prefrontal cortex playing a critical role in understanding and responding to social cues. 
  Psychologically, the need for social connection is reflected in the human desire for belonging, acceptance, and emotional support. Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby, suggests that early attachment to caregivers forms the foundation for future social relationships.

  Connections Over Compliance -...

  The developing brains of our children need to "feel" safe. 
   
   
   
  Children who carry chronic behavioral challenges are often met with reactive and punitive practices that can potentially reactivate the developing stress response systems. 
   
   
   
  This book deeply addresses the need for coregulatory and relational touch point practices, shifting student-focused behavior management protocols to adult regulated brain and body states which are brain aligned, preventive, and relational discipline protocols. This new lens for discipline benefits all students by reaching for sustainable behavioral changes through brain state awareness rather than compliance and obedience.

  Suspended Education - School...

  Every year, millions of public school students are suspended. This overused punishment removes students from the classroom, but it does not improve their behavior. Instead, suspension disrupts their education, harming the students, their families, and their schools. Black students suffer most within this broken system, experiencing a far greater risk of school punishment and the significant harms that accompany it. Many activists and scholars have considered how school punishment increases racial inequity, but few have thought to ask why. Why do we punish students the way we do, and why have we allowed this harmful practice to impact the lives of our nation's children? 
   
   
   
  In Supended Education, Aaron Kupchik shows that suspensions were not intended as a behavior management tool. Instead, they were designed to remove unwanted students from the classroom. Through statistical analysis and in-depth case studies of schools in Massachusetts and Delaware, Kupchik reveals how suspension rates skyrocketed after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, serving as an unofficial means of removing Black children from newly desegregated schools. His groundbreaking research traces the legacy of these segregationist movements, demonstrating that school districts with more desegregation-related legal battles from the 1950s onward suspend more Black students today.
