DIS STD 102Disability and Violence
Disability Studies · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Relationship between disability and violence from three angles: (1) review of disproportionate incidence of violence committed against people with disabilities, whether specifically as form of hate crime or based on dependency and/or vulnerability that accompany some types of disability, (2) study of role of disability and particularly mental illness in representations of criminality and violence, and (3) disablement or emergent disability (injuries, illnesses, and impairments created by social inequity) as consequence of intersecting forms of racial, gender, sexual, and class subordination, or as result of state or interpersonal violence. Consideration of possible coalition-based strategies for challenging systemic subordination and prospects for improving disability-consciousness across social movement efforts and campaigns.
