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 still accepting applications from prospective
students for Fall 2007. The deadline for receipt of full applications is
January 1, 2007. 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.
