RIP: Harlan Hahn (1939-2008)

Just saw the news that Harlan Hahn, a political science professor formerly at USC, a disability rights activist, and an important figure in the founding and development of disability studies in policy research, has died at the age of 68. Some of Harlan Hahn's online writings:

"Toward a Politics of Disability: Definitions, Disciplines, and Policies"
"Good Jobs, Good Benefits (but not for disabled workers)" at Ragged Edge (2006)
"Love, Sex, and Disability: Maintaining Interest and Intimacy" (transcript of a conference appearance with Sharon Bacharach)

ADDED LATER: Beth Haller has this remembrance.

I met Harlan Hahn briefly when I attended the Rockville meeting of the Society for Disability Studies in 1993. His most important article to me was the 1988 "Can Disability be Beautiful?" _Social Policy_ 18 (3), 26-31, which introduced me to a wide humanities literature on human difference. Harlan was instrumental in developing connections between geographers and disability studies:

Hahn, H. (1986). Disability and the urban environment: a perspective from Los Angeles. _Environment and Planning D: Society and Space_, 4, 273-288.

Hahn, H. (1989) Disability And The Reproduction Of Bodily Images: The Dynamics Of Human Appearances. In Wolch, J. And Dear, M. (Eds) _The Power Of Geography: How Territory Shapes Social Life_. Unwin Hyman. London. Pp. 370-388.

Amongst the important scholars that worked with him at USC are Brendan Gleeson at and Rob Wilton. Many of the younger generation know him from Mitchell and Snyder's "Vital Signs: Crip Culture Talks Back."
