Abstract

Stuttering is a speech disorder that affects approximately 50 million people worldwide. It makes everyday life difficult not only for children but also for adults. In psychology and speech therapy the social aspects of stuttering are emphasized, but so far this problem has not been studied in the context of academic life. My research is devoted to this issue in Poland I analyze the academic life of people who stutter through the prism of the social model of disability, the category of structural vulnerability, and exclusion. This study revealed the orality of the universities and a number of academic traditions based on well-established practices and social structures that make stuttering students and academic teachers vulnerable or socially disabled.
