3130 DISABILITY STUDIES
\nThis course questions the more usual way of understanding disability as an individual attribute of the body or mind that needs to be either accommodated or fixed. Disability Studies, as both a theoretical approach and a political movement, challenges this understanding, asking questions about bodies and embodiment, about norms and normal, and about access and inclusion, and destabilizing many common assumptions about all these terms. Disability Studies asks us to think complexly about compulsory able-bodiedness and able-mindedness, and about the broad implications and consequences of those demands.

4112 GENETICS AND SOCIETY
\nThis course considers the social implications of the enormous advances made in genetics. The study of the functioning of cells at the molecular level has become the dominant, though far from only, form of studying biological organisms. Along with the media exaggerations which raise expectations among various publics, students will also consider quieter and more subtle changes taking place in the socio-cultural background related to advances in genetics. These less overt changes include the changing conceptions of \u2018life\u2019, the redefinition of health in terms of \u2018risk\u2019, the molecularization of identities, and the financialization and capitalization of basic biological research.
