Description

This course considers the challenge presented by disability to the way we think about democratic inclusion. Put simply, what would it mean to achieve full inclusion on behalf of disabled people? Can we reconcile the demand for inclusion with the difference posed by disabilities that require more extensive support to realize their full potential? Is full inclusion possible for individuals with profound disabilities, and if so, what form might it take? With these questions in view, we will consider: the evolution of the concept of disability and its relationship to other marginalized identities, the emergence of the disability rights movement, the benefits and limits of legal recognition, and the pursuit of disability justice.
