Christine Ashby is an Associate Professor of Inclusive Special Education in the Teaching and Leadership Department of the School of Education at Syracuse University.

She is also the Director of the Institute on Communication and Inclusion, which conducts research, training and dissemination of information on communication strategies for individuals with disabilities who are non-speaking or who have limited speech. Professor Ashbys teaching and research focus on inclusive education broadly, with specific emphasis on supports for students with labels of autism and other developmental disabilities, communicative diversity, disability studies and clinically rich teacher preparation. Her work seeks to disrupt dominant notions of disability as deficiency and underscores the importance of considering the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities and creating contexts for competence in inclusive schools and communities.

His books include Thoreau and the Sociological Imagination, The Art of Social Critique, The Bohemian South and Seriously Funny: Disability and the Paradoxical Power of Humor (co-authored with Sara Green).
