Disability Studies and Deaf Studies Resources

Disability studies and Deaf studies are highly interdisciplinary, with applications in the humanities, social sciences, medicine, law, and more.  Both fields consider the way norms are defined in society, and how disability, deafness, and related topics are socially constructed and defined, varying by time, place, culture, and community.
