DISABILITY STUDIES

Undergraduate

This course questions the more usual way of understanding disability as an individual attribute of the body/mind that needs to be either accommodated or fixed. Disability Studies, as both a theoretical approach and a political movement, requires us to think complexly about compulsory able-bodiedness/able-mindedness, challenging and destabilizing how bodies and embodiment, norms and the “normal,” and access and inclusion have been understood. Cross-listed with SAN 3130. Credit cannot be received for both of these courses. PREREQUISITE: Second Year standing or above, or permission of the instructor Three hours a week
