This course examines the sociological dimensions of disability, with particular attention dedicated to the social construction of disability. It approaches disability through intersectional and multicultural lenses, and covers models of disability, prejudice and discrimination, the disability rights movement, and more. Students will conduct service-learning projects to interrogate previously held assumptions about what it means to be healthy, sick or disabled.
