What is neurodiversity and how does it relate to disability, social justice, and human rights? In this course, we will learn about the full constellation of neurodivergent experiences, including discussion of autism, psychosocial disabilities, dementias, learning disabilities, trauma, and more. We will explore concepts like sanity, intelligence, competence, "normality," and wellness in relation to social, cultural, political, and economic values about how people's brains work and ought to work.
