Are you interested in social justice and human rights advocacy? This course will examine disability from a human rights perspective. Through readings and discussions, students will explore issues facing people with disabilities, especially women and girls with disabilities, throughout the world. Students will also have the unique opportunity to engage in direct dialogue with disability rights activists who are working in the global south.

Cross-disability, cross-cultural topics will include:

• Gender and disability

• International development and disability

• Health and family Issues

• Inclusive educational models

• Implementing disability rights laws and policies internationally

• Deinstitutionalization



The course will be taught by Susan Sygall, CEO, and Susan Dunn, Project manager, of Mobility International USA (MIUSA). MIUSA is a disability-led nonprofit organization based in Eugene working to advance disability rights and leadership in over 100 countries. This course is relevant for students across a wide range of disciplines, including special education, women’s studies, law, ethnic studies, sociology, psychology, human rights, social movements and disability issues. No matter what career path lies ahead of you, this course will expand your world!
