Broadening UD’s Disabilities Studies Minor: Building Sustainable and Cross-College Engagement
Stephanie Kerschbaum, Laura Eisenman,
DIST is the largest minor at UD. This project will expand the minor’s current focus to include courses on humanistic disability studies and to build connections with faculty across campus. Two leading disability studies scholars will visit campus in Fall 2015 to consult and deliver public lectures. The image above shows a close up of part of a colorful quilt, dominated by a red hand shape stitched onto colorful background fabric using light purple/blue thread. The same thread was also used to stitch the words "nothing about us without us" onto the palm of the hand. Image credit: Amy Selders.
