Thinking About Disability All Along the Way
Lecture by Dr. Rosemarie Garland-Thomson
The academic field we now call critical disability studies developed in the last decades of the twentieth century from sociology, medical anthropology, and healthcare fields into a fuller disciplinary knowledge enterprise, complete with academic specializations, degree programs, academic journals, conferences, professional organizational structures, and broad recognition as a useful competence in employment. This lecture traces this knowledge emergence and some of the work it does in the world.
