Additional Information

This sophomore writing seminar considers questions of ethics and justice in thinking through contemporary issues in law and everyday practice concerning disability, including discrimination in the workplace and public sphere, disability accommodations and benefits, education, and bioethical debates. Beginning with an interrogation of the relationship between the law and ethics, we will then explore the history of disability policy and law, as well as closely examine Supreme Court cases and decisions. We will conclude by learning about global perspectives on the contemporary state of disability and justice. As a writing-intensive seminar, this course will also allow for the development of critical thought and reasoning in both oral and written communication.
