School of Public Policy 597DP - ST-Topics in Disability Policy

61 million Americans - one quarter of Americans - live with disabilities. One of the best ways to understand the effectiveness of American social policy is by looking at how it does or does not incorporate, reflect, and support their rights and needs on issues ranging from Covid to education, housing, and infrastructure. This course will explore major developments and emerging frontiers in disability policy through a combination of readings, discussions, and public-facing group projects.
