Feminist Disability Studies

This introduction to feminist disability studies draws together the work of feminist (and non-feminist) disability scholars, as well as that of queer theorists, with the work of historians and clinicians in order to explore the field's major theoretical claims. This course will pay special attention to the historical evolution and politics of biomedical definitions of pathology or impairment and their relationship to disability, while paying special attention to intersections between (dis)ability, race, gender, and sexuality.
