DS 200 - Introduction to Disability Studies

2 credit(s)
Disability Studies understands disability as referring not only to a biological or medical condition, but also to a community of people (the largest minority in the U.S.); to a civil rights movement; to a complex set of social and ethical issues; to a universal human experience; and to the ways cultures respond to different bodies, minds, and behaviors. The class will help students understand disability in its social, cultural, and ethical dimensions. It will sometimes be taught in Hawaii during Winter. Students who have successfully completed ENGW 202 - Writing About Disability should not take this course.
