During this inaugural summer institute we will strive to (re)imagine disability! This course is designed to provide students with grounding in disability studies and promote exploration of current topics in the field. The shift from the bio-medical model of disability to the social model opened the way for disability activism and critical disability studies. Primary importance will be placed on the development of analytical skills and critical thinking.
