SOC-372 Sociology of Disability

Drawing on scholarship from sociology, anthropology, history and philosophy, this course will explore disability as a deeply embodied experience and at the same time one shaped in the context of families, communities, and societies. Questions the course will explore include: What are the costs and benefits of medical and social models of disability? What is the relationship between the individual experience of disability and social structures? How are factors like sexuality and class—modified by the challenges and opportunities associated with having a disability?
