EDU4011 Sem in Learning Diff, Politics & Culture

This 4000-level seminar focuses on the concept of ‘learning disability’ from multiple perspectives, with an emphasis on how these perspectives may play a role in shaping self-concept and modes of enactment for individuals who have been labeled with some form of LD. The course will examine the LD concept through multiple lenses, including the historical evolution of the LD concept; clinical, medical and scientific frames of reference; legal and educational policy and practices; the place of LD within American culture and society; multi-cultural and trans-national dimensions; lived experience; and economic and political modes of analysis. The focus of the seminar will be to achieve a common sense of how the LD concept has evolved and may continue to change in the future. Through reading, writing, group work, and independent study, students will seek to challenge and extend what it means to have a learning difference in contemporary society. Credits: 3.000 HUM 3001
