Calendar Description / Prerequisite / Co-Requisite
Examines disability as a social identity and as a social construct, exploring how and why experiences and conceptualizations of disability vary historically and trans-culturally, and the intersectionality of disability with other categories of social analysis, such as class, gender, race, and sexual orientation/identity. Drawing on the insights and the theoretical frameworks developed within the field of disability studies, this course studies disability from a theoretical, interdisciplinary perspective, stressing the importance of context (social, cultural, and political) in shaping state and popular responses to the differently-abled in various national settings.
