Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with a basic overview of the field of Disability studies, which responds flexibly to current theory and practice regarding people with disabilities. In this context, disability is seen as a key aspect of the human experience and has significant political, social and economic implications for society as a whole. And for both disabled and non-disabled people. This view of the issue is a key concept for understanding the principles of inclusive thinking in society, which is currently considered relevant.
