Diversity and Disability

This course focuses on disability and identity in comparison with other minority identities such as race, class, gender and ethnicity. Students will explore dimensions of disability identity and models, as well as critiques of those definitions and models, including the medical model, bio-psycho-social model, the socio-political model, and postmodern accounts of disability identity. The nature of ableism, exclusion, and intersecting systems and structures of disability oppression will be explored, as well as strategies for increasing liberation and freedom of disabled individuals.
