• DS 100: Introduction to Disability Studies

  3.00 Credits

We use an intersectional approach to diversity, always situating disability within its historical and social context and in relationship to other potential identities rooted in race, gender, class, and sexuality. This is an interdisciplinary course. Requires no more than 60 credits or by permission of the instructor to enroll.
