WRT3012 ST:Crip Linguistics

This course provides an introduction to linguistics and language studies to support students to engage with research within a Crip linguistic framework. Crip Linguistics is a new field of study combining linguistics with Crip theory, a field of Disability Studies that combines Queer theory and disability to break apart and reject the idea of “normal” in (dis)ability. Crip Linguistics brings disability and neurodivergence into the study of language variation, as well as bringing disability and accessibility concerns into how we study language itself. In this class we will examine compulsory abledness and compulsory neurotypicality in linguistics, as well as learning about linguistics as a toll for social justice and inclusion through research on language, sexuality, gender, disability, and neurodiversity.
