Critical Disability Studies
Critical Disability Studies focuses on how disability is constructed, viewed, and understood culturally, politically, economically, and socially.
People with disabilities are centered and their experiences in the world create the context for discussion.
Emerging approximately 30 years ago, Critical Disability Studies uses a critical lens similar to fields such as Gender Studies, Chicano Studies, and Queer Studies to interrogate truths and uncover subjugated knowledge.
