FYSP 093 - Disability

FC ARHU WINT

This seminar examines conceptual and historical models of disability, studying how, by whom, and under what circumstances any given definition of disability emerges. Natural science, social science, and the humanities all have different ways of understanding disability. We will analyze these approaches, paying close attention to authorship and agency. How do stories of disability change when people with disabilities hold the pen, the paintbrush, the microphone, or the senate floor?
