Thinking About Disability All Along the Way
Tuesday, September 12th, 202303:30 PM - 04:30 PM UCHI Conference Room, Homer Babbidge Library
The academic field we now call critical
disability studies developed in the last
decades of the twentieth century from
sociology, medical anthropology, and
healthcare fields into a fuller disciplinary
knowledge enterprise, complete with
academic specializations, degree
programs, academic journals,
conferences, professional organizational
structures, and broad recognition as a
useful competence in employment. This
lecture traces this knowledge emergence
and some of the work it does in the
world.
The lecture will have CART captioning
and ASL interpretation. If you require
an alternative format flyer or
accommodation to participate, please
contact Carolyn Conway (AY23-24
WGSS Curriculum Coordinator) at
