DIS 2010 Identity and Justice The concept of justice looks past the foundation of basic rights to experiences of privilege and oppression. These experiences are interdependent with identity including race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical and intellectual abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. Because we are all complex and do not live single issue lives, understanding the intersectionality of a person’s multiple frames of identity is essential to understanding justice.
The course will introduce students to the historical and contemporary philosophical concepts of identity and justice, as well as the present-day complex and interconnected application of Disability Justice. Disability Justice looks beyond the basic rights of accessibility and services to issues of identity such as race, class, gender, and sexuality and how they intersect the experience of being disabled. Disability Justice shifts consciousness about what disability means to different people, how it’s framed, and how we work to make a more just world for all.

DIS 4090 Disability Global Society Individuals with disabilities are estimated to make up about 15% of the world population, but they are often among the most marginalized in society.
