DISABILITY, SOCIETY AND CULTURE

Catalog description

(Slashed with CULT 77015 ) Provides students with the learning outcomes related to the cultural, political and social perspectives of disability. Students are prepared to have an in-depth global understanding of the nature, meaning and consequences of disability as it relates to social and environmental justice and barriers they experience. Perspectives are examined through several theoretical lenses for greater understanding of the breadth of marginalization experienced by persons with disabilities. The course culminates in identifying steps to address barriers in multiple contexts, decrease stigmas and promote greater societal inclusion.
