Negotiating expertise in discourses of disability

Based on a concept of disability as a sociocultural construct established and maintained in part by language, this article presents an analysis of a variety of discourses of disability, focussing on the theme of expertise as it is negotiated within medical encounters and described in disability narratives. This article argues that expertise must be considered a dynamic and multidimensional construct, one negotiated interactively among participants in a discourse
