Psychology & Brain Sciences 490P - Int'l Perspectives/Disability

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to international perspectives on disability. This course will discuss conceptualization of disability across diverse cultures, laws and social policies that affect the lives of people with disability, and systems of support for people with disabilities across the globe. There will be a focus on human rights for people with disabilities, as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

This spring semester course involves international travel in August 2019 and additional program fees. Interested students can learn more about the International Perspectives on Disability and apply through the International Programs Office. If they are accepted, the instructor will then enroll them in the course before the start of the Spring 2019 semester.
