Extra Credit Opportunities

There will be numerous opportunities for extra-credit this semester, all of which will take the form of attending Disability Studies/ Disability Culture-related activities occurring on campus and in the local area--which I will make you aware of--and then publishing a 150-250 word blog post that critically reflects on the event you attended. One easy opportunity you might take advantage of is the new Disability Studies Initiative's Film Series entitled "Disability <IN FOCUS>" with all screenings occurring at the Center for Ethics, room 102. For more info on the film series, see this web page: http://www.disabilitystudies.emory.edu/news/Filmseries.html.


Below are videos of the events from the visit of Ari Ne'eman and Maria Town. They are in chronological order. Written transcripts are upcoming. Links to the videos may also be found at this page:
