“Disability Studies reframes the study
of disability by focusing on it as a social phenomenon, social construct,
metaphor and culture utilizing a minority group model. It examines ideas
related to disability in all forms of cultural representations throughout
history, and examines the policies and practices of all societies to understand
the social, rather than the physical or psychological, determinants of the
experience of disability.” (Quoted
from--http://www.uic.edu/depts/idhd/DSFAQ.HTM) The DACC assists departments and individuals with the
establishment of a Disability Studies program here at PSU. For more information on how to get involved,
