Research听
A big part of Professor听Dolmage鈥檚听research involves rhetoric听and disability studies.听Disability is a common topic in university research, however most of that research is studying the disability itself and looking for ways to cure it.听Dolmage听believes we should be looking at ways for disabled people to thrive in our culture.听His first book听Disability Rhetoric听discusses the ways we talk about disability through popular culture such as movies and how disability shapes attitude, values, and social structures.听In his second book听Academic Ableism,听he looks at the relation between higher education and disability. Higher education has been constructed as the opposite of disability and has formed itself to be a place where students work hard and not admit weakness.听Academic Ableism听pushes听the reader to rethink higher education as a place that can accommodate anyone who walks into the classroom and where listening to disabled people and seeing their value makes higher education a radically better place for everyone.听听

Canadian Journal of Disability Studies听
The focus of this journal is to publish听original peer听reviewed articles that progress research in the multidisciplinary field of disability studies. Professor听Dolmage听explains how disability is an important factor in academic research. The research surrounding disability treats disabled people as research subjects giving us a biased view about what disability is. Many believe disability needs to be cured or irradicated. The journal takes a critical perspective by treating disabled people as creators and researchers and giving them a field that foregrounds their perspectives.听In this journal you can find almost every academic discipline mentioned with disability being interdisciplinary by cutting across all fields.听听
