Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

The world holds certain expectations for what we are able and unable to do, given the individual features of our bodies and minds. Writers across the globe have confronted these societal expectations by creating characters whose minds and bodies don't conform to the rules or norms that society places on them. In this course, we will read literary representations of people with cognitive, sensory, and physical impairments, and discuss what these representations reveal about cultural values and norms.
