It is structured to examine, explore, and analyze the lives of women with disabilities as they intersect with race, class, sex, sexuality, age and disability type from a feminist social political perspective. Women with disabilities are to be invited to be guest speakers throughout the semester. The course is designed to make comparisons between non disabled women and women with disabilities, as well as between men and women with disabilities. Through the course work, each student should be able to understand the mechanisms and institutionalization of "ableism" and sexism in U.S. society, as well as in social/political movements. The instructor and students will be expected to work together throughout the semester to come up with ideas on how to better align feminist and disability rights movements. ER -
