“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, please contact the DACC.
