Description
Ableism and risk of disadvantage or discrimination are clear, yet focus on equity, employment access, services, and physical health needs may render invisible issues of sexual health, identity, and expression of disabled people. This course embraces social models and explores implications of challenging bio-medical views of sexualities and disabilities, focusing on if, or how, disabled people embrace their sexualities and/or are prevented from doing so. Students explore these topics from critical disability, feminist, queer, and intersectional perspectives. Recognizing and balancing complex and sometimes apparently competing self-identities and needs are integral from a disability justice perspective.
