HUM 295-03 - Special Topic: Disability Studies in the Global South

4 credits (Fall)

Cross-listed as: GDS 295-01. This course turns to voices from the Global South and minority diaspora communities in the Global North to investigate how they experience, narrate, and represent disability. We will explore how histories of economic inequity, gender discrimination, and legacies of colonialism mitigate lived experience in perspectives shaped by diverse cultural and religious contexts. The literature, performance, and films we study will cover a range of disability experiences from Argentina, Ethiopia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Pakistan, and the United States.
