Disability Studies

Contemplating How To Discuss the Dark History Disability in the US

cds6's picture

After our discussion on Tuesday, I was definitely feeling the weight and darkness of the history of disability in the US. From the discussion about Haverford’s own Gotter’s eugenics movement contribution to the varying levels of surveillance at Ellis Island, there were many points in the history of disability that are not being discussed nearly enough in the classroom setting. However, a thought I was contemplating while having this discussion was how does one even begin to talk about something so traumatic and heavy. It is difficult to envision the “correct” way of broaching this topic.

Final Project Jenny Jiang

Hi everyone, my final project talks about the relationship between art and disability, since we've been discussing CCW and multiple mediums of art that the community have created and its such a vibrant field to dig deeper in. This is a narrated PPT, where each slide accompanies a short audio clip that once you click on it, plays the presentation for the slide. Hope you enjoy!
