Ne öğreneceğim?

Promoting the full participation, self-determination and equal citizenship of people with disabilities Disability studies scholars view disability not simply as a defect inside a person, but as a complex relationship between society and people who function differently from the norm. UIC’s PhD in disability studies program addresses disability in its full complexity, promoting an awareness of disability that supports individuals in shaping their identities and lives. We examine how support services and social and political change can reduce sources of disempowerment. Our program is truly an interdisciplinary experience, with faculty, researchers, and students coming from backgrounds in health, education, assistive technology, social sciences and humanities. We recognize the inherent tensions that exist between therapeutic, medical and social models of disability, but acknowledge these differences as fertile ground for the development of disability studies as an integrative knowledge base. Disability studies at UIC offers a unique opportunity to study the multilayered, interactional dynamics of disability.
