Teal and grey cover of the book Disability in the time of pandemic Edited by Allison C. Carey, Sara E. Green and Laura Mauldin — Disability in the Time of Pandemic (2023)

Co-edited with sociologists Allison C. Carey and Sara E. Green, this book brings together a collection of social science investigations of disabled people’s experiences in the pandemic from places like the US, Poland, and India.

MADE TO HEAR (2016)

Made to Hear sensitively and thoroughly considers the structure and culture of the systems we have built to make deaf children hear. Examining the consequences of cochlear implant technology for professionals and parents of deaf children, Laura Mauldin shows how certain neuroscientific claims about neuroplasticity, deafness, and language are deployed to encourage compliance with medical technology.

AWARDS
Honorable Mention: Outstanding Publication from the American Sociological Association’s Section on Disability & Society.

A superb account of how a controversial technology becomes normalized patient by patient. While following families from newborn screening to post-Cochlear implant, Laura Mauldin shows that little of the political turmoil related to this medical technology is salient for the parents faced with a child with hearing loss. — Stefan Timmermans, University of California, Los Angeles
