Résumé:
Values such as 'access' and 'inclusion' are unquestioned in the contemporary educational landscape. But many methods of addressing these issues - installing signs, ramps, and accessible washrooms - frame disability only as a problem to be 'fixed.' The Question of Access investigates the social meanings of access in contemporary university life from the perspective of Cultural Disability Studies. Through narratives of struggle and analyses of policy and everyday practices, Tanya Titchkosky shows how interpretations of access reproduce conceptions of who belongs, where and when.

Alors que l'architecture religieuse a déjà fait l'objet d'une multitude d'essais et de guides, l'ornementation florale et sa symbolique, à la différence des représentations de scènes bibliques, reste un domaine très rarement étudié. Au-delà de son aspect ornemental et de sa valeur artistique, l'art floral inscrit dans la pierre peut avoir de nombreuses significations.
