PLEASE CIRCULATE THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT FREELY TO ALL WHO MAY BE
INTERESTED:
The Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Disability Studies at the University
of Illinois at Chicago is accepting applications from prospective students
for Fall 2006. The deadline for receipt of full applications is January 1,
2006. UIC's Disability Studies Ph.D. program promotes the development of
new scholarly models for understanding disability. Part of this
intellectual approach involves the education of disabled and non-disabled
academicians, researchers, policy experts, and clinicians who will join
with disabled people in the community as active challengers of oppressive
institutions and environments. The program examines how addressing
disability in its full complexity can promote the full participation, self-
determination, and equal citizenship of people with disabilities in society.
UIC's Disability Studies program recognizes disability as a complex
phenomenon existing at the intersection of human differences and social
values. The program is open to scholars committed to studying how
disability "works" and what can be done to lessen the negative social and
personal consequences of disability. This includes the study of what
disability reveals about society and humanity as well as how it affects
people who fall both within and outside of the category. Scholars from any
discipline can engage in disability studies. A particular strength of the
UIC Disability Studies program is access to diverse faculty mentors and
resources in the social sciences, the humanities, and the health fields.
Students in the program conduct research across impairment, clinical,
social, cultural, ethical, and policy perspectives.
