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. What is it like to live with a disability, and how does disability intersect with other aspects of personal identity, like gender, race and culture? Is disability socially and culturally defined? 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.
