- Course Catalog Description:
- Dis/ability is not a physical or mental defect but a form of social meaning making mapped to certain bodies in larger systems of power and privilege. Feminist approaches to dis/ability as vector of oppression intersecting and constituted through other oppression such as race, class, gender, sexuality and citizenship. Dis/ability must be understood through systems of power that construct, support, regulate, and determine the life chances of those who claim, or are claimed by disability. Deconstruct the complex ideologies of ableism and the material realities of such oppression, and work toward imagining and reconstructing a more just and equitable society.
