INTD 207 - Interdisciplinary Disability Studies
2019-2020 Catalog Year
Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0
Humanities-based disability studies course explores disability in contexts that cut across the arts, social sciences, history, education, literature, business, philosophy sociology, social policy and law. As an introduction to the scholarly field of disability studies it draws across disciplinary boundaries and is not limited to one field of study alone, but is hybrid in its overview. Disability is not taken up as deficit or defect in the body/mind of an individual, but rather as a negotiation of power/privilege where difference serves as a field of ‘political struggle’. Informed by critical theory, dis/ability is understood as a discursive construction - a fictional “other” to the fictional “norm” - embedded in society. Dis/ability from this perspective offers a way to think about bodies rather than as something that is wrong with bodies.

2019-2020 Catalog Year
Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 2

Our course will explore these ideas, along with the yogic system of ethical precepts and the practice of meditation that is intended to expand ordinary consciousness toward direct apprehension of higher consciousness. Another aspect of the course is to explore the relationship between meditation and neuroscience. Scientists in the field of cognitive neuroscience have recently taken active interest in the effects of meditation on brain activity, mood, and cognition. Our readings and discussion will examine these relationships.
