Disability Studies will challenge you to think about “disability” and “ability” in new ways. Using the social model rather than the bio-medical model, the problem becomes a lack of ramps rather than the fact that someone uses a wheelchair. The focus of this interdisciplinary program is the critical analysis of disability in society. Topics to be considered include human rights, social movements, normalcy, eugenics, genetic engineering, family, sexuality, gender, aging, employment, education, and international development.
残疾学研究挑战你以新的方式去思考“残疾”和“的能力。”使用社会模型而不是生物医学模式，问题就变成缺乏斜面而不是有人使用轮椅的事实。这种跨学科课程的重点是社会残疾的批判性分析。研究的主题包括人权，社会运动，正常性，优生，基因工程，家庭，性，性别，老龄化，就业，教育和国际化发展。
