Disability Studies
About Disability Studies
Disability Studies at the University of Utah is currently in an exciting state of transition. In 2008, the university began offering a graduate certificate in Disability Studies; in 2010 it added an undergraduate minor. In 2017-18, Disability Studies is in the process of gaining approval to relocate into the School for Cultural and Social Transformation, which offers a dynamic and sustaining home for Disability Studies’ interdisciplinary approach to research and teaching, attention to intersectional identities, and engagement with social justice issues.
Further information about Disability Studies at the University, including information about the Disability Studies minor, can be found at the current site.
