HIST 0312 - U.S. Disability History: Constructing Disability, Difference, and Citizenship
Credits: 3
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. Using a socio-cultural lens, students will consider how perceptions of “disability” and “normalcy” have been constructed and reformulated throughout U.S. history from colonial times to the present.
Prerequisites: Minimum Sophomore standing required.
