Explores the implications and meaning of having a disability in global contexts by
introducing students to experts’ voices, especially disabled activists, as they seek to advance disability
justice and inclusion and demand systemic change in spheres of influence including education, politics,
healthcare, the arts, culture, social welfare, and everyday life. Examines how public (government) and
private (outside of the government) policies and practices in these sectors affect the inclusion of persons
with disabilities. Students explore and identify how international trends in disability and inclusion, local
cultural beliefs, and biases influence inclusion.
