Disability Studies at Carleton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Disability Studies Minor<\/a> is administered through the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation as of July 2018 (formerly housed in the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Disability Studies Minor offers students an opportunity to study disability as a category of analysis from an interdisciplinary approach. <\/span>Students will be exposed to cutting edge theories, methodologies, and debates that explore disability from historical, cultural, political, economic, and social perspectives. Examples of areas of research interests will include disability and the law, disability and theories of sexuality, disability and policy, disability activism, disability movements (local and transnational), disability and race, and disability in literature and art, to name only a few. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disability Studies is an exciting and growing field with endless possibilities for learning.
