SOCI 320 - Sociology of Disability

Institution:

Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

This course explores our understandings and practices regarding ability and disability through time, especially in the United States. We emphasize how and why we construct particular bodies and bodily practices as desirable or undesirable and consider the factors that shape inclusion and exclusion of people based on ideas of ability/disability. In so doing, we discuss how disability intersects with topics such as inequality, poverty, globalization, social movements, civil rights, social policy, stigma and identity, and a broad range of social roles.
