The aim of this study-unit is to enable the students to familiarise themselves with the notion that gender and sexuality have a strong bearing on disability and vice-versa. Through Article 23 and 25 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability this study-unit will examine the current affirmation of sexuality of disabled persons and their sexual and reproductive health needs. Through the history of sexuality of persons with disability elements of desexualization in contexts and cultures will give rise to the implications experienced by disabled persons. It will also look at the nuanced discrimination experienced by disabled women. This study-unit looks at the emergence of feminist disability studies partly as a result of attempts to explain gendered experience of disability and partly as a challenge to contemporary feminist theory on gender which fails to take account of disability.
It takes into account how the gendered experience of disability reveals sustained patterns of difference between men and women. This study-unit looks at the gendered experience of disability and the relation between sexuality and disability. “Barriers to Cross-state Movement for Disabled People and Their Families: A Social Problem” by Brian R.05 - Postgraduate Modular Diploma or Degree Course.The Rejected Body: Feminist Philosophical Reflections on Disability by Susan Wendell.The three models of sociology of disability are medical, social, and crip politic.“Distance and acceptance: Identity formation in young adults with chronic health conditions” by Hillary Steinberg.Join us to learn more about a field of sociology that isn’t often talked about!ĭisability studies, popular culture, charity, sociology of disabilityįollow our guest, Hillary Steinberg, and her work!
