Biosocial-Biocultural Perspectives on Disability in Education

Disability is a complex phenomenon contested along biopolitical and sociopolitical vectors in the field of education and other attendant fields such as humanities, history, and biosciences. These contestations influence the ways in which disabled lives are supported and understood in schools and other public institutions. Students will be able to critically evaluate the biosocial and biopolitical, and sociopolitical nature of disability and attendant intersectionality's in relation to education systems and build strong repertoires of transdisciplinary knowledge that can be applied in their fields of interest.
