The disability community is the only marginalized identity that anyone can join at any time in their life; and statistically, one in four people in the United States are disabled. Despite this prevalence, many people, disabled and non-disabled alike, are uncomfortable with the word âdisabilityâ, and society still views disability as an inherent deficit to be âfixedâ. Drawing from the Disability Rights movement organizing slogan âNothing About Us Without Usâ - this honors seminar aims to break down the stigma around disability through engaging with materials written and created by disabled people. Moreover, this course will be taught by a disabled instructor. Students will learn more about disability-identity, explore their own lived experiences through self-reflection activities, and break down concepts such as ableism, intersectionality, and accessibility.
