This course explores the major themes, groups, individuals, and events concerning American disability history, from the pre-colonial period to the present. Students will investigate the lives of persons with disabilities, the ever changing definitions of disability, and public and private institutional responses to disability. Students will consider how perceptions of ‘disability’ and ‘normalcy’ have been socially-culturally constructed and reformulated throughout U.S. history from colonial times to the present.
Prerequisites: Sophomore standing.
