JS 322 - The Arts & Disability

This Junior Seminar focuses on musicians and visual artists as well as those in dance, film, and other types of creative expression whose work is at the intersection of artistic endeavor and disability, often innovatively so. The course will unpack terminology and frameworks; look at how various cultures through time have historically addressed and depicted disability in the arts; and consider how artists today are at the vanguard of societal change in our understanding and acceptance of disability.
