THRC 0813. Disability Identity. 3 Credit Hours.

Odds are that each of us will encounter disability at some point in our lives, either directly or indirectly through family, friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Join us as we examine historical perspectives of disability marked by fear and discrimination and fueled by media portrayals. We will then explore most recent indicators of personal, social, and environmental change that support disability identity and result in a more accommodating environment for us all. NOTE: This course fulfills the Human Behavior (GB) requirement for students under GenEd and Individual & Society (IN) for students under Core.
