Micro-Minor in Disability Studies
The interdisciplinary micro-minor in disability studies bridges humanities and social sciences. The program provides in-depth understandings of the social, historical, cultural and material predicaments imposed on disabled people. Rather than approaching disability as a pathology, it explores disability as a product of social inequity and as an alternative ethical map for living.
