DSAB 243 - Disability, Music and The Arts (3 Credits)

Prerequisite: None
The study of music and other performing and visual arts, like other aspects of culture, opens up new ways of understanding disability. The course considers persons with disabilities who write and make music, paint, dance, and take photographs and those, disabled or not, who experience these creative acts, as well as those persons with disabilities who are the subjects of these creative enterprises. We will also analyze how persons with disabilities are often excluded from participating in these artistic fields.
