The course offers the opportunity for students to critically examine the role of privilege, power, and systemic oppression in society and its impact on people with disability. Course topics will include activism and legislation, the influence of veterans on societal views of disability, sexuality, employment practices, race, poverty, invisible disabilities, eugenic practices, and assisted suicide.
