Attached is my final project. It is an extension of my midterm project, but further expands on Peter Singer's use of utilitarinism when constructing his thoughts on disabilities. As well I incorporate the voices of Eli Clare, Harriet McBryde Johnson, and Sunaura Taylor to support my argument against Singer. I hope you enjoy!

Attached is my self evaluation and end of semester relfection. I want to give a big thank you to Kristin and everyone in the class for fostering a great in-class atmosphere, and introducing me to disability studies. 

My experience in this class has greatly expanded my view of disability.  My perspective on disability has always been through the lens of my disability and my brother’s disability, and it has been difficult for me, in the past, to take my own experiences and emotions out of the equation and just absorb the authentic experiences of other people.  The knowledge and understanding that I have gained from this class has taken me outside of my own experience, and I have started to see disability outside of myself.

Noticed
1. There was a beautiful water-bottle sculpture hanging from the ceiling that reminded me a lot of a sculpture that I'd seen in a museum in D.C.

Okay, it's time to conglomerate my experiences with our brief hours on the inside. Leaving on the last day, I felt sad and angry that our classmates on the inside couldn't walk with us into the sunshine, too, and enjoy the spring air. That's, I suppose, the point, when it comes to learning about prisons. Incarceration is unacceptable...prison abolition, and restorative justice are key. Because this is bs. Absolute bs. Those of us from bmc are no more or less valuable than our classmates...and yet when we hop in our van to head back to campus, our classmates are counted to make sure every number is present. I'm happy and warm from the friendships forged within the Bryn Mawr Course. I think our time together was valuable and meaningful. But it's not enough.
