Dear List Members,
I am currently teaching a first year module on Disability, Media and Social Inclusion (at LJMU) and I have found the airing of CH4's Beauty and the Beast very useful for explaining how attitudinal barriers act to disable people with facial disfigurements.
Likewise it is also very useful to illustrate the insufficiency of laws that rely on purely functional definitions of impairment to determine disability.
I just wondered if anyone else is using this programme in their teaching? Or indeed I'd be interested to hear from anyone who considers disability perspectives in their teaching and research generally.
Best wishes,
Irene Rose
