Just as women s studies attempts to place women in a social, political and cultural context, so disability studies attempts to place disability in this context and to examine how social structures shape the experience of people with disabilities. In 1993 an official definition of disability studies was adopted by the Society for Disability Studies, a professional organization of academics from around the world. The definition states that disability studies, among other things, "examines the policies and practices of all societies to understand the social, rather than the physical or psychological, determinants of the experience of disability. Disability Studies has been developed to disentangle impairments from the myth, ideology and stigma that influence social interaction and social policy. The scholarship challenges the idea that the economic and social statuses and the assigned roles of people with disabilities are inevitable outcomes of their condition." Lennard Davis, in his introduction to "The Disability Studies Reader," suggests that disability studies has its roots in both activism and academia: "Like the appearance of African American studies following rapidly on the heels of the civil rights movement, there is a reciprocal relationship between political praxis by people with disabilities and the formation of a discursive category of disability studies."

Today, Disability Studies is a nearly global phenomenon with universities in Scandinavia, Asia, Europe and South Africa offering minors, certificates, graduate, and undergraduate degrees in the field. Disability Studies grew out of the Independent Living movements, and gained momentum as people with disabilities and their advocates began deeper and more active engagement in the political process so as to effect changes in public policy. With its basis in social activism, many disability theorists began to question the exclusive focus on disability as a sickness or impairment that needed to be corrected and favored a theoretical approach that takes into account the ways in which society uses images and language to shape notions of ability/disability.
