As requested by tony:- the MA disability Studies course-Sheffield.
>
>
> I thought I might give an opinion as I am Student on the MA
> Disability Studies/Sheffield.
> The medical staff are one discipline who's input is lacking, but
> knowing Deborah (course organiser/leader) I would consider that they may
have been asked.
> Deborah's background is in Psychonanalysis and it has been very
> interesting to look at disability from that perspective as well
> as the better known social & medical models.
> I fear an actual live medic would be heckled to death, and it
> would take a brave one to take us on!
> We have had some interesting speakers from social studies,
> literature, psychoanalytical studies, philosophy, humanities etc,
> both disabled & not disabled.
>
> The appeal of the course to me was it's interdisciplinary
> approach, and the fact that we feed into modules offered by other
> faculties/departments and share experiences.
>
> Deborah certainly gives a balanced overview of issues and
> encourages us to explore them from every perspective.
> The student's reflect that diversity, and the present group is
> made up of a teacher, nurses, activists, a psychotherapist, a
> dentist, a charity worker, one unemployed. Approx half have a disability.
> It's a brilliant course..
