Objectives:A) The course offers a general introduction to the field of Disability Studies,B) It explores disability’s capacity to offer special frameworks in the interpretation of knowledge domains such as medicine, andC) it explores the ways and means with which disability transpires into an interdisciplinary phenomenon in a way much broader than a mere identity marker.Course description:Moving away from a viewpoint that disability is a mere lack and a restricted bodily condition, this course defines the phenomenon as a knowledge domain, lived reality, as much as an interpretative framework. The course contains four modules running for 8 weeks.An introductory module may expose students to various frameworks and approaches to disability. The second module entitled “Key concepts” is a survey of foundational concepts connected to Disability Studies. Module three is “Disabilities, ideas, and disciplines”. Among other things, this module is replete with cutting-edge interviews with specialists across the globe. The fourth module is “Literature, Disability and Health”. Here, disability emerges as a cluster of frameworks for studying literature, and human lives at large.
