Disability Justice at GU

1 Credit · Level: Undergraduate

This course explores the kinds of care made possible through disability justice-informed ways of knowing and being, particularly disability justice's commitment to radical access. It examines anti-racist disabled activism and organizing, including in the time of COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement, to provide a blueprint for creating structures of care to address the needs of Georgetown students and their communities. It will focus on mental health, collective trauma, student experiences, and access-centered pedagogy, and will draw on wisdom and offerings from queer and trans disabled people of color.
