Minor in Interdisciplinary Disability Studies (IDDS)
Disabled people comprise one of the largest minority groups in the United States, with nearly 20 percent of Americans having a physical, sensory, psychosocial, or neurological disability or a combination of disabilities. The recognition of this sizable minority, together with disability social justice and political activism in recent decades, has led to the emergence of Disability Studies.
Disability Studies is a robust and vibrant field of intellectual inquiry that views disability not as a defect in individuals’ bodies, but as an issue needing to be addressed by society. Courses in this minor explore how disability generates knowledge concerning the complex relationship between society and the person differing from the norm. Focusing on disability within social and political contexts, the minor’s courses provide students with an opportunity to reflect critically on ableist, as well as inclusive, practices. This minor will have merit with employers valuing diversity and an inclusive workplace culture. This minor is available through 成人AV视频’s Interdisciplinary Studies program.
