CCCX 310 Accessible Chicago

In this class, the topic of disability access provides a focus for employing a range of ideation strategies to imagine and create a future for fully accessible communities. Students will investigate barriers in site-specific situations, and create proposals and plans of action to address and remedy inaccessibility. Rather than approaching any given disability as a ‘problem to solve,’ the course emphasizes inclusivity of human diversity. Together, we will explore the political, social and cultural aspects of a number of disabilities as we work to create a world that is fully accessible to all. The larger goal is for students to take the lessons learned in this course, to apply to them to their own disciplines, and to be change agents for a better, more accessible world.
