Both Sides of the Table is a set of evocative, heartfelt, personal,
and revealing stories, told by educators about how their experiences
with disability, personally and in the lives of family members, has
affected their understanding of disability. It uses disability studies
and critical theory lenses to understand the autoethnographies of
teachers and their personal relationships with disability. The book
takes a beginning look at the meaning of autoethnography as a method
of inquiry, as well as how it has been (and will be) applied to
exploring disability and the role of education in creating and
sustaining it. The title refers to the context in which educators find
themselves in Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings for
students with disabilities in schools. There, educators often sit on
the other side of the table from people with disabilities, their
families, and their allies. In these chapters, the authors assume
roles that place them, literally, on both sides of IEP tables. They
inscribe new meanings – of relationships, of disability, of schools,
of what it means to be an educator and a learner. It is a proposal (or
perhaps a gentle manifesto) for what research, education, disability,
and a utopian revolutionary politics of social transformation could
and should look like.
