DEE 605 History of Disability and Education

Participants in this course will critically examine multiple histories of disability and education. Historical research methods and methodologies will be explored to understand connections between assumptions, values, beliefs, epistemologies, and ethics evident in history and in historical representations. Course participants will engage in historical research to explore histories, social and political contexts, and material practices that inform contemporary practices and policies. Using primary and secondary sources, they will inquire into intertwining histories of disability and education to gain insights, evidence, and rationales to inform more intentional and emancipatory futures.
