Program in Disability Studies at Georgetown University
Share
The program in Disability Studies first began as the Disability Studies Minor Working Group in 2013. Faculty from the College and School of Nursing and Health Studies joined forces to create purposeful research and meaningful classes in the field of disability studies. In April 2017, the minor was approved by the College and became one of the first 50 higher-level institutions in the United States and Canada to devote resources to this field of study.
