It incorporates historical, phenomenological, political, cultural, medical, sociological, technological, educational, and legal perspectives in order to provide an enriched and coherent view of disability as part of universal human experience, by understanding and analyzing disability as a phenomenon that simultaneously manifests itself at the bodily, person, and societal levels. The minor is designed to provide a context for understanding the meaning and experience of difference in society by requiring students to examine how disability intersects gender, race, class, age, and sexuality as well. The disability studies minor consists of 21-25 credit hours of course work. Three courses must be at the 300 level or above. Once the disability studies coordinator has approved the Minor Program Form, you should file the form with your college or school counselor.

http://www.lancs.ac.uk/depts/apsocsci/events/dsa.htm

Extractions: from midday Thursday 4th September - midday Saturday 6th September 2003 Disability Studies is concerned with the inter-disciplinary development of an increasing body of knowledge and practice, which has arisen from the activities of the disabled people's movement, and which has come to be known as 'the social model of disability'. The social model of disability locates the changing character of disability, which is viewed as an important dimension of inequality, in the social and economic structure and culture of the society in which it is found, rather than in individual limitations. Disability Studies seeks to advance teaching, research and scholarship that is concerned with: the analysis of disability and the exclusion of disabled people as a social consequence of impairment; the identification and development of strategies for fundamental social and political changes that are necessary for the creation of an inclusive society in which disabled people are full participants, and are guaranteed the same rights as non-disabled people.
