Section Title: Cultures of Disability Section Info: The overarching themes of this course are the concepts of access and opportunity for adults with disabilities in American society (e.g., families, education, employment, recreation, politics). Specifically, we will emphasize issues for adults with disabilities within American society. Beginning with the institutionalization of individuals with significant disabilities in the 1900s, to the rush to provide services to returning WW II injured veterans, to the passage of laws guaranteeing access to education and employment in the 1970s, to the current models of providing access to housing, employment and leisure through self-advocacy and personal empowerment, students will learn about the evolution of education, housing, employment and recreation for adults with disabilities. We will include adults with all disabilities, including intellectual, physical, and mental health. The course will utilize pertinent readings, media, and guest speakers. An important component of the class will be the community-based experience. Students will have the opportunity to interview and interact with adults with disabilities in the local community. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Freshman or Sophomore class standing.
