REL 330 - Religion and Disability

This discussion-based course resituates the study of religion within a Critical Disability Studies framework in order to register the prismatic, ambivalent relationships between human variation and religious traditions. By pairing recent scholarship with literature, film, and other textual materials, it foregrounds the ways that, historically speaking, religion has not only structured possibilities for people with disabilities, but also contributed to projects of imagining alternative worlds.
