DISA-200 Disability and Society (4 Credits)
(PH, D) People with disabilities make up the largest minority group in the world, with approximately 25% of adults in the United States (pre-COVID) having one or more impairments that would be considered disabilities. Additionally, it is the only minority group that people can join at any time (via age, accident, etc). Despite the large number of people with disabilities in the U.S. and around the world, the majority of nondisabled people are not knowledgeable about the barriers faced by people with disabilities and how to be good allies to their disabled family members, friends, and co-workers. This course will explore some of the social, structural, and medical barriers faced by people with disabilities. A Disability Studies perspective will be used to help students explore the systemic issues faced by disabled people in our society, and intersectionality will be emphasized throughout the course. PH was approved by faculty on 10/11/23

DISA-400 Capstone (2 Credits)
Prerequisites: DISA 200: 10 credits toward the minor As the capstone course to the Disability minor, this course serves to tie together the electives chosen by students on the topic of disability. Students will produce a substantial project (research or creative) that reflects their interest in disability and their chosen vocation. Over the course of the semester, students will be mentored as they gather resources and produce work that demonstrates their understanding of disability as diversity, and they will reflect on how personal beliefs and systems of oppression impact their chosen topic.
