What is disability? What is ableism? What is everyday life like for disabled people (and why haven't I used the phrase "persons with disability" here)? What does it mean to think about disability intersectionally? What is the relationship between disability rights and justice? Where and how do "place" and "time" enter this conversation? How have disability and ableism been produced and sustained by geography and planning (scholarship, education, and practice)? These are just some of the questions we will engage in this course. We begin by working through the ontological and epistemological debates about disability and ableism. From there, we move closer to the everyday lives of persons with disabilities (why am I using "persons with disability" now?). We will spend time considering what it means to "decolonize" disability studies. You will spend time in the field exploring the issue of rights, justice, accessibility standards, and compliance. Guest speakers are invited to discuss their research, and their relationship to disability, ableism, and place. You will be challenged to critically consider what disability and ableism are, the ways in which regions, cities, and institutions disable, and how you relate to disability and ableism in your everyday life.
