This field emphasises the importance of understanding the lived experiences of people with disabilities and how societal attitudes, policies, and health care systems shape their well-being and identities. By integrating perspectives from literature, philosophy, history, and social studies, this area of study aims to foster greater awareness and inclusivity regarding health disparities and the challenges faced by those with disabilities.
