L&I 710 - Disability and Impairment

Unit(s): 3

Research approaches and discourse in psychology and medicine tend to place disability as a problem that resides within the individual body/mind. By contrast, disability studies perspectives help to contextualize our understanding of disability more broadly within society and culture, while at the same time, acknowledging individual variation. Students will be immersed in the debates, theoretical perspectives, methods, and findings that have been used to explain and address disability and impairment across disciplines.
