the historian Douglas Baynton famously wrote that “disability is everywhere in history, once you begin looking for it, but conspicuously absent in the histories we write.” This course traces the social, cultural and political history of disability, as well as its relationship to ideas of normal and deviant personhood, in the United States, focusing on the period from 1900 to the present. We examine how differences in bodies and abilities have been interpreted in the past, and how they might be approached in the future. Topics include the rise and fall of asylums and mental health activism; eugenic institutionalization and sterilization; race and disability; gender, reproduction and disability; disability rights; surveillance and experimentation of people with disabilities; and media stigma and advocacy.
