BS Disability Studies

As part of Interdisciplinary Programs Disability Studies creates the space for rethinking traditional, medical approaches to imagining disability, mental health and related social institutions, using a liberal arts lens to explore the variety of possible, yet uncommonly shared, meanings. We situate disability amidst contemporary, interdisciplinary debates and developments in research and policy, illustrating how these concerns touch all our lives in different spheres rights, family, access, inclusion, sports, education, youth, workplace, art, war, aging, cultures and mobility.
