Sociology of Disability

Undergraduate

examines the social construction of disability, and explores the intersection of disability, disability studies, and disability activism with major areas of sociological focus that often fail to address disability (e.g. race, gender, work, sexuality, identity, globalization and knowledge production). By critically unpacking concepts of ‘accommodation’, ‘inclusivity’ and ‘accessibility’ this course explores how constructions and discourses of disability shape our social world and ways of knowing.
