| Prerequisites (description): | (in Polish) Aim of the course: Students are instructed in new theoretical and methodological approaches to disability. They explore questions of identity, intersectionality and popular representations, history, policy and legislation, access and technology, social action and disability justice. Drawing from the work of scholars, activists, and building from students’ personal and professional experiences, this course engages learners in a transformative process of reflection, debate and discovery. How has disability been defined in various historical moments, in various cultures and eras? What social ideologies, cultural systems, and societal arrangements have shaped the meaning and experience of disability? How has disability been defined or represented in cultural and artistic productions, public laws and policies, modern professional practices, and everyday life? |
| Short description: |
(in Polish) Substantive content: Disability Studies sees disability primarily as residing in society, something that is done to people who are regarded within the culture as having underperforming bodies (that include minds). Disability is thus akin to racism, sexism, and homophobia. Clinical fields tend toward seeing disability as something that inheres within the individual and that must be corrected by means including cure, rehabilitation, or even genocide. |
