Unusual Suspects, The

Synopsis: Explores the way society and science - both medical and social - have variously constructed disability as medical, natural and social, and what implications this has for both disabled people and society as a whole. Also surveys current developments in genetic science, including cochlear implants, pregnancy screening and genetic manipulation, and evaluates the implications of these ‘breakthroughs’ for disability.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
