WGSS305

Disability Justice examines disability as a category of analysis within intersecting systems of race, gender, sexuality, and class. Tracing the emergence of disability justice from feminist, queer, and critical race theory, the course engages humanistic methods to analyze historical and contemporary movements, social theory, and cultural production. Students will conduct independent and collaborative research projects, apply textual and archival analysis to activist and theoretical materials, and complete case studies on education, policy, or technology. Through critical writing, peer workshops, and community-based projects, students will develop the interpretive and practical skills necessary to connect humanistic inquiry with the principles of access, interdependence, and collective liberation.
