Book Review of David M. Engel and Frank W. Munger, Rights of Inclusion: Law and Identity in the Life Stories of Americans with Disabilities (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
David Engel and Frank Munger’s book, Rights of Inclusion: Law and Identity in the Life Stories of Americans with Disabilities, is an important contribution to the literature on disability. The title of the book reveals its essential methodology. The organization of the book is focused on ‘life stories’, in the form of interviews with 60 individuals reflecting on their lives. Most were interviewed twice, with a span of years between interviews, allowing for changing perceptions over time. Each of the six chapters of the book starts with a description of the life story of one or more of the interviewees. Then follows an analytical piece, using the preceding life story(ies) as a foundation. Sometimes additional life stories are briefly presented and woven into the analysis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
