Disability Studies
This new Seminar takes a broad interdisciplinary approach to Disability Studies – a rapidly expanding field informed by the knowledge base and methodologies of the traditional liberal arts and post-positivist perspectives. Disability Studies focuses on a sociopolitical analysis of disability: it examines both the social meaning we give to variations that exist in human behavior and appearance – implicit or explicit valuings that construct exclusionary categorical binaries – and the role that disability has played, currently plays and can potentially play in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and education.
