Are you interested in social justice and human rights advocacy? This course will examine disability from a human rights perspective. Through class readings and discussions, students will use a human rights paradigm to examine issues facing people with disabilities, including women and girls with disabilities, throughout the world. Students will also have the unique opportunity to engage with approximately 20 women leaders with diverse disabilities from 20 countries, who will be in Eugene for Mobility International USA (MIUSA)'s Women's Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD). Cross-disability, cross-cultural topics and viewpoints on disability will include:

  *   Gender and disability
  *   International development and disability
  *   Inclusive educational models

This course is relevant for students across a wide range of disciplines, including international studies, special education, women's studies, law, ethnic studies, sociology, psychology, human rights, social movements and disability issues.
