Community and Global Health

College of Health

This course will help students develop an understanding of the integral meaning disability holds in contemporary society and how society, politics, and medicine, in turn, impact the disabled. In class, we will explore scholarship and show how disability is constructed by society, policy, and medicine. Students will then make recommendations to improve disability accommodations and services in the community. Ultimately, they will gain knowledge and experience to aid any future professional or personal interactions they will have with the disabled.
