WRIT 105DS - Writing for Disability Studies
Disability studies is an inter-disciplinary field of study, and this course emphasizes writing practices across disciplines. As such, the course provides analysis and practice of writing that promotes equity for people with disabilities and provides a critique of ableist discourse. Readings in disability studies, include personal narratives, manifestos, policy statements, and sociological studies, will provide students with models for producing their own academic, personal, legal, and political documents. The overall objective of the course is to engage students with the experience and identity of a traditionally marginalized group that consists of 13% of the U.S. population.
