FYSP 093 - Disability


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4HU, WINT

Many think of disability as something that a doctor diagnoses, a bodily deficit that requires treatment or cure. Others see disability as a social problem, casting the disabled as weak people who need the help of the strong. Some traditions find in disability the bodily reflection of moral failure or sin. Literature and the arts have long used disability as a metaphor for any number of conflicts or challenges. But how do people with disabilities see themselves? This seminar explores how stories of disability change when people with disabilities hold the pen, the paintbrush, the microphone, or the senate floor.
