CMC 335 - Critical Disability Studies

This course provides an interdisciplinary introduction to disability studies. We examine disability not solely as a medical condition but also as an issue of social and structural inequality. Disability will be studied through a variety of perspectives: culture and identity, gender and sexuality, stigma, media and digital culture, critical race theory, and queer theory. Through hands-on activities and media screenings, you will understand the shifting landscape of disability studies and question “normative” concepts of the body, self, and sexuality.
