Yoshihiko Kawauchi was interviewed for the Disability Rights and Independent Living Movement Oral History Series because he is a leader in the disability rights movement in Japan, and an international expert in the field of universal design. Inspired by legal advances for people with disabilities in the United States, which he learned about as a visitor in the late 1980s, Mr. Kawauchi founded Legal Advocacy for the Defense of People and Disabilities (LADD) in 1995. LADD was the first organization in Japan dedicated to advancing the civil rights of people with disabilities using law and policy as primary tools.
Professor Raymond Lifchez has long been recognized for his groundbreaking work in the field of architectural accessibility for persons with disabilities in the 1970s. His Design for Independent Living in 1979, nominated for the American Book Award, was a pioneer study in the relationship of architecture and people with disabilities. In his long career in the Department of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, he initiated the practice of using consultants with disabilities in his design studios, an innovation for which he received the Distinguished Teaching Award at the university. He described this process in his book, Rethinking Architecture (1987). This interview is primarily concerned with Raymond Lifchez's contributions to the field of architectural access. Toward the end of the interview, he touches on a few of his other academic specialties.

Disability is a thorny and muddled concept - especially in the field of disability studies - and social accounts contest with more traditional biologically based approaches in highly politicized debates. Sustained theoretical scrutiny has sometimes been lost amongst the controversy and philosophical issues have often been overlooked in favour of the sociological. Arguing about Disability fills that gap by offering analysis and debate concerning the moral nature of institutions, policy and practice, and their significance for disabled people and society.
This pioneering collection is divided into three sections covering definitions and theories of disability; disabled people in society and applied ethics. Each contributor – drawn from a wide range of academic backgrounds including disability studies, sociology, psychology, education, philosophy, law and health science – uses a philosophical framework to explore a central issue in disability studies. The issues discussed include personhood, disability as a phenomenon, social justice, discrimination and inclusion. Providing an overview of the intersection of disability studies and philosophical ethics, Arguing about Disability is a truly interdisciplinary undertaking. It will be invaluable for all academics and students with an interest in disability studies or applied ethics, as well as disability activists.

This feature documentary profiles the psychological and physical journeys of Ariel, an Argentinian man whose legs were shredded by an industrial dough mixer when he was just 33 years old. After the accident, Ariel began to rediscover the meaning of freedom: to rebuild his broken identity, keep his family together and design his own artificial legs. He became a living embodiment of the ongoing duel between man and machine. This intimate and metaphorical portrait juxtaposes Ariel's daily life with dreamlike inner worlds, pushing the boundary between the real and the imaginary. An introspective journey tinged with touches of magic realism, Ariel tells a touching tale in which a man's precarious emotional balance illuminates his unique metamorphosis.
