DIS ST 230 / LSJ 230 / CHID 230 INTRODUCTION TO DISABILITY STUDIES
A-term, MTWR 9:40-12:20
The course will be taught in hybrid format.
Description: Our broad goal in the class is to develop an understanding of disability as a complex and crucial part of the world's cultures and human experience. This course will introduce you to a critical framework for recognizing how people with disabilities see their worlds, and suggest new ways of thinking about difference, myths, identity, justice, power, privilege, the body, and society. We will further explore how disability activists and scholars have re-conceptualized disability from a more empowering sociopolitical and human rights perspective, as an element of human diversity, and as a source of community. Finally, we will draw on other disciplines to understand how disability often intersects with other social categories such as gender, class, and race.
Format: Some classes will be in-person and some will be remote. For asynchronous access, class meetings will be recorded or notes will be provided.

DIS ST 430 / LSJ 430 / CHID 430 / HSTCMP 490 TOPICS IN DISABILITY STUDIES: DISABILITY HISTORY
A-term, MTWR 1:50-4:00
This course will be taught in hybrid format.
Description: This class seeks to bring disability into the center of historical inquiry, engaging with topics and themes in the histories of disability in the United States from the 19th to the 21st centuries. Learning goals are to deepen our understanding of disability and ableism in the past and how these may shape the present. We will consider how historical analysis can more fully encompass the lives of disabled people, as well as the ways that the concept of disability has worked with and against other forms of discrimination and rights movements in American society. How does disability as a category of analysis inform other social constructions such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality? Specific topics to be covered include the 1977 sit-in for disability rights and the Black Panther Party; the history of eugenics and the Canton Asylum; how disability was used in debates over women's rights and gay rights; and the history of accessible design and disability material culture.
The course counts as W (writing credit).
Format: The content in Disability History will be offered in a variety of modalities in order to provide as much flexibility and accessibility as possible. Some class sessions will meet in person with synchronous remote access, and some will meet on Zoom only. All classes will be recorded. Some lectures will be pre-recorded and all class materials will be available for asynchronous access. There will be synchronous and asynchronous participation options. My goal is to support you this summer in engaging with the course material while navigating hybrid learning.
