4 courses with the subject DISA, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
DISA 100Introduction to Disability Studies Credits: 33
Introduction to Disability Studies provides students with the opportunity to examine disability as a social, cultural, and political phenomenon. We will explore the impact of disability as it relates to the individual, families, social institutions, cultures and societies, and we will analyze the lives and perspectives of people with disabilities. We use an intersectional approach to diversity, always situating disability within its historical and social context and in relationship to other potential identities rooted in race, gender, class, and sexuality. This is an interdisciplinary course. Requires no more than 60 credits or permission of instructor to enroll.
DISA 100 , and DISA 391 (may be taken concurrently)
DISA 400Capstone in Disability Studies Credits: 33
This interdisciplinary course is designed to allow students to apply a number of theoretical approaches and models to real-life examples. Students will integrate their understanding of concepts, issues and debates within the intersecting disciplines related to disability studies. The class will be highly interactive, integrating seminar discussions and group work by students in an attempt to further explore in-depth issues and topics discussed in class in relatively broad terms. Students will apply, integrate, and build on course material through short papers and oral presentations. In addition, they will advance and polish their writing, oral communication, research and critical analysis skills through the conduct of original research or a service learning project.
