| CFST 212 - Disability in Society |
|
An introduction to the concept of disability in society, with an emphasis on marginalization, intersectionality, accessibility, and disability justice. Students explore the medical and social models of understanding disability, examining media representations of people with disabilities that reinforce harmful stereotypes, as well as those promoting disability as a natural, normal feature of human diversity. Students examine the intersectionality of ableism with racism, xenophobia, sexism, heterosexism, trans discrimination, and other identity-based forms of oppression. Through an investigation of family systems, students learn about the experiences of parents of disabled children and children of disabled parents. Finally, through field-based experiences, students propose and conduct participatory action research from a lens of disability justice, culminating in a final research project with implications for their communities.
