Abstract
Many disabled people experience hate - verbal and physical abuse, harassment, and violence - in their everyday lives. The chapter presents an argument for recognising and examining the 'landscapes' of disability hate. Originating in cultural geography, the concept of landscape used here refers to the social and spatial contexts and sets of relations within which hate is produced, experienced, and responded to. These contexts and relations are at a range of scales, from immediate relationships with people known and unknown, to local community spaces, and wider welfare policies, that together shape both disabled people's lives and social attitudes towards disability. The chapter draws on a set of examples to examine these different spaces, relations, and scales of disability hate. It concludes by proposing how a landscape, multiscalar, imagining can generate potential new responses for tackling and preventing disability hate.
