DEE 606 Applied Disability Studies: Disability Advocacy

This course in Applied Disability Studies explores disability advocacy through a Disability Studies in Education framework that centers the lived experiences, rights, and agency of disabled people. Students examine historical and contemporary models of advocacy that challenge ableism and advance social and institutional change toward disability justice and inclusion. Using Critical Disability Theory, students analyze collaborative approaches to advocacy that affirm disability as a valued form of human diversity. Through applied projects, students learn to advocate effectively with and for disabled individuals in educational, community, and policy contexts.
