Critical Disability Studies

Critical disability studies is an interdisciplinary field of study that explores the social, cultural, historical, political, and economic dimensions of disability.  It applies critical theories to explore how disability is constructed, experienced, and represented in society.

 The field aims to challenge dominant norms, power structures, and ableism while advocating for social justice, inclusion, and the rights of disabled individuals. It explores topics such as disability identity, accessibility, discrimination, intersectionality, and the social and political implications of disability
