Definition(s)
- Disability studies is an interdisciplinary area of study, based in the humanities and social sciences, that views disability in cultural, social, and political terms, rather than through the lens of biology or psychology. In these latter disciplines, the primary way of conceptualizing “disability”is typically connected to some form of deficit or measuring distance from the “norm” for purposes of intervention, remediation, and bringing one closer to the established norm.
