| Annotation | This themed section of six articles and a list of further useful sources explores the implications of different aspects of social justice for disabled people. In "Social justice and disabled people: principles and challenges", Goodlad and Riddell provide an overview of the key policy and theoretical concerns. Sally Witcher focuses on "Mainstreaming equality: the implications for disabled people", while Patrick Thornton discusses issues relating to "Disabled people: employment and social justice". Sally Riddell and colleagues consider the future potential of a new form of social welfare in "The development of direct payments in the UK: implications for social justice". Tom Shakespeare, in "Disability, genetics and global justice", reminds us that 2003, the European Year of People with Disabilities, was also the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. Lastly, in "No wheelchairs beyond this point: a historical examination of wheelchair access in the twentieth century in Britain and America", Nick Watson and Brian Woods consider issues of physical access for people with disabilities.
