Mad at School
Book • 2011
Margaret Price's Mad at School explores the lived experiences of people with mental disabilities in academic environments, arguing that institutions often stigmatize and marginalize these individuals.
The book links personal narratives with critical analysis to reveal how policies, workplace cultures, and disciplinary norms pathologize mental differences.
Price advocates for structural changes and solidarity to protect rights and dignity for scholars and students with psychiatric disabilities.
The work situates mental disability within disability studies and challenges prevailing notions of professionalism and competence.
It has become an important contribution to conversations about inclusion, accommodations, and mental health policy in higher education.
