“…Staples and Mehotra (26) explain this phenomenon by highlighting the lack of mutual conversation and intellectual debate between anthropologists and scholars in "the realm of disability studies" as well as DS researchers' tendency to seek to define disability according to universal analytical categories. Despite these epistemic disagreements, between 1995 and 2006 various anthropologists started to generate ethnographies and to collect data about people with disability and disability movements/groups in both the Global North and South (35,(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50).…”

“Critical disability studies” (CDS) is an interdisciplinary field of research that examines social, political, economic, racial, gendered and historical constructions of bodily non-normativity across different geopolitical areas and scales. Despite its diverse and multiple contributions and objectives, current research in critical disability studies has been described as mainly focusing on disability issues in the Global North and as having universalizing tendencies. In this context, intersubjective perspectives and empirical data offered by ethnographic works in medical and disability anthropology and related disciplines have been either in accord or tension with the broader field of CDS. On the one hand, this review article illustrates the many ways anthropologists have adopted various research perspectives to explore bodily non-normativity outside settings in the Global North. On the other, it shows the importance of research by anthropologists working on topics related to disability, as well as their recent fruitful collaborations with CDS scholars and approaches. By exploring these epistemological and empirical entanglements, this paper concludes that deeper engagements between CDS and anthropology, as well as a more thorough focus on the ethnographic analysis of bodily non-normativity, can open new creative routes for the analysis of disability in various world contexts.

“…This study also only recruited individuals residing in the United States because people in other countries might have different preferences when shopping for jeans (DeLong et al, 1998). Further, people in different countries might have different attitudes and beliefs about people living with disabilities and about accommodating their daily needs (Holzer et al, 1999), including clothing-related needs.…”
