Jay Dolmage is the Chair of English at the University of Waterloo, and author of three books, Disability Rhetoric, Academic Ableism, and Disabled Upon Arrival. He is also the founding editor of the Canadian Journal of Disability Studies, which is an open-access journal. He is committed to disability rights in his teaching, working to bring together writing, rhetoric and critical pedagogy concerning disability.
His first book Disability Rhetoric discusses the ways we talk about disability through popular culture such as movies and how disability shapes attitude, values, and social structures. In his second book Academic Ableism, he looks at the relation between higher education and disability. Higher education has been constructed as the opposite of disability and has formed itself to be a place where students work hard and not admit weakness. Academic Ableism pushes the reader to rethink higher education as a place that can accommodate anyone who walks into the classroom and where listening to disabled people and seeing their value makes higher education a radically better place for everyone.
