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.

The following requirements must be fulfilled: 9 credits, including one 3-credit required course and 6 credits in selected courses.
