EDUC 126. Narratives of Disability & Intersectionality in School

This class is rooted in narrative analysis and disability using lenses and practices developed within disability justice and disability studies in education. Unpacking notions like disability, ability, capacity, and debility, we will explore narratives and stories, both fiction and nonfiction, that can help us explore schools and educational spaces through critical disability theories. We will also engage in narrative and discourse analysis as research methods to examine such stories. In doing so, we will learn and practice multiple ways of knowing and being when considering ableism and education.
