Topic: “Other ‘Others’ in US Disability History”
- The essay “Disability History: Why We Need Another ‘Other’” (Kudlick 2003) announced the analytic and theoretical tools of an emerging field of study with the potential to “reshape our scholarly landscape.” The terrain of disability history has now expanded to encompass lived experiences and concepts not typically named as disability, especially at the intersections of race, class, sex, and gender. This course will focus on reading recent research exploring communities, activist movements, and methodologies for disability history in 20th century United States contexts. Readings will include:
- Sami Schalk, Black Disability Politics (2022)
- Ryan Lee Cartwright, Peculiar Places: A Queer Crip History of White Rural Nonconformity (2021)
