Disability Studies
Test Bank
Course Introduction
Disability Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the social, cultural, political, and historical dimensions of disability. The course explores how disability is defined and represented in society, challenging traditional medical models by emphasizing the experiences, rights, and agency of disabled people. Students will engage with topics such as accessibility, inclusion, policy, activism, intersectionality, and the role of media in shaping perceptions of disability. Through the analysis of personal narratives, legislation, and scholarly work, participants will develop a critical understanding of how disability is constructed and how to advocate for a more equitable and accessible society.
