The department of Cultural Foundations of Education began offering a certificate of study in Disability Studies during the 1997-98 school year. The focus of this program is to consider disability within the context of society, rather than as individual pathology. Conceived in this way, the connections and relevance of disability to a wide variety of disciplines become immediately apparent: sociology, medicine, social work, social policy, architecture, art history, anthropology, comparative religions, philosophy, law, popular culture, media and film, literature, history and education.
The purposes of the conference are to:
- Highlight the interdisciplinary nature of Disability Studies
- Provide an opportunity for graduate students from a variety of disciplines present their work on a topic related to disability, broadly conceived.
More details on this conference are forthcoming.
