Section Title:
Critical Disability Studies
Section Info:
: Critical Disability Studies Topic: Critical Disability Studies This interdisciplinary graduate seminar takes up "critical disability studies" in two intertwined ways. In one sense, it explores the critical theoretical and political frameworks that the field of disability studies offers: how does this field interact with and challenge related interdisciplinary fields? In what ways does disability studies both draw from and move beyond identity politics? What new approaches does disability studies suggest for questions of access, health, embodiment, and knowledge production? In another sense, it critically assesses the field as it currently stands, and imagines its possibilities: what might disability studies exclude even (especially) as it is often grounded in accessibility and inclusion? How is the category of disability produced through militarization, colonization, human rights frameworks, and globalized labor practices? What new forms of knowledge production could disability studies open up?
