Discussion 7: People with DisabilitiesContains unread posts Must post first. In this week’s materials, we’re exploring key concepts associated with disability and disability rights. Something you may have noticed as we have examined different kinds of diversity in this course is that in all these categories, there is an assumption about which state is “normal.” Last week, we saw that many white people don’t necessarily see themselves as having a race, because white is the “normal” category. Because of this, the experiences of Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, and other non-white people can be invisible. In a similar way, our culture views non-disabled people as normal and may make the experiences of disabled people invisible. I encourage you to consider this idea as you work through the material this week. Using at least 2 of the required resources this week, please answer the following questions: · In one of the week’s readings, Davis (2015) argues that disability is often left out of discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Why do you think this might be? · What does the term “TAB” (temporarily able-bodied) mean in the context of disability studies? What does this term add to your understanding of disability? · How might the concepts of intersectionality and privilege relate to the experiences of people with disabilities? Please give at least two examples. Provide your initial post by 11:59 pm on Sunday. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length, excluding the discussion prompt and the references. Please use in-text APA citations within your post as well as full APA references at the end of your post. Peer Responses: Respond to at least two classmates’ initial posts by 11:59 pm on Tuesday. Posts must be at least 75 words in length and demonstrate critical thinking, engagement with course material, and a meaningful attempt to engage in discourse. You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads |
