Office hours: Tuesdays, 5:30 – 6:30 PM; Thursdays 1:00 – 2:15 & Thursdays 4:00 – 5:00PM Description:This course focuses on how language and rhetoric frame how disability is perceived, experienced, and treated. It will include critical and rhetorical analysis of professional discourses as well as personal disability narratives and memoirs. The Society for Disability Studies, an interdisciplinary organization, says in its mission statement, “disability is a key aspect of human experience.” So is language. It will explore the interdisciplinary nature of disability studies and the roles language and rhetoric play in representations of disability. Some questions to be explored include: In what ways do clinical or professional discourses and personal narratives reveal experiences of power and powerlessness? How is the bodily experience of disability described in professional contexts as compared to personal narratives? How does description and perception influence the practice of professionals and quality of life for people with disabilities? What assumptions about disability are revealed through rhetorical analysis? These questions will help frame our attention in this course to representations of disability in a variety of texts: academic, professional, literary, clinical, personal, and visual.Objectives:To demonstrate awareness of the role language plays in representations of disability;To demonstrate ability to analyze disability-related texts rhetorically; To demonstrate understanding of the multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary nature of disability studies;To demonstrate knowledge about terms, definitions, and controversies regarding disability, especially as it relates to the student’s particular field of study;To be able to describe different models of disability, as they have developed historically;To demonstrate an ability to further research disability-related topics in the student’s specific discipline.Required:Book: Disability Studies: Enabling the Humanities.

Make at least a 250-word entry (but no more than 500 words). These need not be super formal comments, but they should be thought-provoking responses to the readings and/or to my questions about them. Sometimes I will pose questions; occasionally, I will ask you to post your own questions and then respond to them. You should also read and respond to the comments of at least two other people in the class. These latter comments may be brief. They are not part of the 250-500 total. In class, we’ll generate criteria for how these comments will be assessed. Discussion Board (or blog) on disability blogsThere are a number of excellent disability blogs. (I have started a list of them at Blackboard, at Documents. If you find more, let me know, and I’ll update this list.) Your task is to visit some of these sites—either one or two in depth or a wider cross-section of them—and write your own comments or blog about what you’re finding at these blogs: issues being discussed, news, controversies, points of view, etc.—whatever you think is relevant for this class. There will be k of these comments on blogs. Make at least a 250-word entry (but no more than 500 words) at the two designated times during the semester. This can be done at the designated “blog” forum I’ll have set up at Discussion site at Blackboard. Or, if you’re willing, you could start a (public?) Wordpress or other blog about these disability blogs. If you have a blog, or start one, make sure that we all have easy access to it. In class, we’ll generate criteria for how these comments will be assessed. Beauty is a Verb selection and discussion/presentationWe’ll all be selecting readings from Beauty is a Verb: The New Poetry of Disability. Eds. Jennifer Bartlett, Sheila Black & Michael Northen. El Paso: Cinco Puntos Press, 2011. Each week, we’ll be taking turns borrowing my copy of this text.When you get the book for a week, first please read Jennifer Bartlett’s Preface (15-17) and Michael Northen’s “A Short History of American Disability Poetry (18—24). Then, pick 1-3 short pieces from the collection to present/read/discuss with the class for 15 minutes. In class we’ll discuss criteria for this short project and brainstorm options for how to best spend your 15 minutes. For example, you could contextualize the work(s), do an oral reading, do some kind of multi-media presentation, and/or take us through a discussion. Student-led launch of class discussion of readingsEach week, one person will be responsible for starting class discussion of the readings for that week. That person will start us off in an interesting way and then “run the room” for 20 minutes. (It should NOT be a twenty-minute lecture.)Before it’s your turn, we’ll talk about how to get people engaged with the readings, come up with good questions, how to get people talking, how to keep things moving along, etc. I will rescue you after about 20 minutes—unless the discussion is so riveting that I think we should keep going with it. (This is actually the desired outcome.) Audio text response to readings This is a two-minute voice message delivered to my office voice mail (631 632-7416), or it may be an audio file sent to my email. This message is not simply a personal response or an opinion. Some summary is necessary, but move on quickly to synthesis and analysis. Have some points prepared, but please don’t read the entire response. We’ll go over some criteria in class.This audio response should: be about two minutes long; be articulated clearly; cover some prepared points but not be read word-for-word; relate the reading(s) to other reading(s), and, most importantly, raise a provocative, open-ended, sophisticated question designed to stimulate class discussion. (People tend to forget to add this question, so you may wish to start with it.) Project on a disability-related issue in student’s field of studyThis is the major project for this class. It make take the form of a research project, in which you do a review of the literature on a particular issue that has to do with both disability studies and language/rhetoric, and then you position yourself within the various perspectives about which you are reading. It may also be more of a rhetorical analysis (similar the ones we’ll be reading in class), in which you analyze selected disability-related documents and/or visual texts from a disability studies perspective and explain how these documents or visual texts work, rhetorically. Your project may be a combination of those two approaches. Most projects will be 20-30 page papers, but it’s possible to negotiate for a multi-media project (paper and website, paper and presentation, paper and role-play, paper and video, etc.) More information will be forthcoming. We will brainstorm ideas and criteria as we move through the semester.Peer response to (2 or 3) peers’ drafts of major projectThe major project will have at least one draft. When that draft is available, you’ll be responding to the drafts of two or three classmates. This peer responding to ideas and organization (not peer copy-editing) is to help the writer determine if he or she is on the right track and also to help the reader see what moves to include or avoid in his or her own paper. Some practice in peer response will be given as we go along, and criteria for assessing these peer responses will be generated.Class ParticipationOn-time attendance is mandatory. If one class must be missed because of severe illness or family emergency, students should contact the instructor beforehand as a courtesy. More than two missed classes will greatly affect the class participation grade. Students who miss more than three class meetings should not expect to pass. Coming late or leaving early counts as ? missed class. (This class is highly participatory, and we need everyone’s contribution.)How to do well regarding class participation: In addition to on-time attendance at every class, class participation also includes active participation and engagement in class. Read the assigned readings carefully and prepare responses to my “heads-up questions” when they’re provided. Come with your own good question(s) about the readings. Try to make three or more insightful contributions in every class, but try not to dominate discussion. Listen to others and respond to their points. Be an active participant in Blackboard discussions and in classroom group work. Put some time and effort into responding to peers’ drafts. Volunteer for note-taking, if needed.Grading Scale: A+ = 98-100A - = 90-93B = 85-86C+ = 77-79C - = 70-74D = 65-66A = 94-97B+ = 87-89B - = 80-84C = 75-76D+ = 67-69D - = 60-64CALENDAR WITH TOPICS, COURSE READINGS AND DUE DATESImportant: Please come prepared for class by having already read the readings listed for that date.

Do not plagiarize. That is, do not lead readers to believe that others’ ideas, phrasings, or unusual word choices are yours. In the American academic tradition, plagiarism is grounds for failing a course or at least an assignment. To build your own credibility for scholarly honesty, take meticulously accurate notes and quote carefully. Give credit where it is due. Different disciplines have slightly different traditions and assumptions regarding what is plagiarism and what is not, so please ask me or bring it up in class if you have any question about how to cite sources or what to credit. Your own students will have misunderstandings about this issue, so it’s important that you can show them how to avoid plagiarism. Those in an English graduate program should follow MLA documentation style unless otherwise directed. Those outside the humanities should follow the document style used by most professionals in your field (but please direct me to the manual you’re using). Everyone should follow North American academic conventions regarding summaries, paraphrases, and direct quotations. If you have any questions about how to do this (in order to avoid plagiarism), please do not hesitate to ask. The Purdue Online Writing Lab is a great resource for help with documentation, as is Diana Hacker’s A Pocket Style Manual. Please keep copies of what you’re quoting or citing. Class ResourcesThe Writing Center: : 631 632-7405, HUM 2009.The Counseling Center: Phone: 631 632-6720 ProtocolYou may use your laptops, iPads, or smart phones to access course materials or to take notes. But please do not text or do non-course-related activities during class. Please do not eat or drink in class (except for water, coffee/tea, or a discreet power bar). We will always take break about 1 and ? hours into the class. Please turn cell phones to off or vibrate. If you are expecting an important call or text regarding, for example, family emergencies, please use the vibrate mode and step out quietly to handle issues that cannot wait. Please treat others in the class with courtesy and professionalism. Assignments Due on TimeIt is expected that assignments be completed by the due dates listed on the syllabus. Any student with a documented illness/severe family emergency may be able to negotiate a later due date, providing that the negotiation takes place before the listed due date. KEEP A BACK-UP COPY OF EVERYTHINGSave your work often and in more than one place. Keep two electronic copies of everything and a hard copy of important projects. That way, if one of us loses or misplaces a project, or it doesn’t end up where it’s supposed to, it is not a problem. DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES (DSS) BOILERPLATE STATEMENT:If you have a physical, psychological, medical, or learning disability that may impact your course work, please contact Disability Support Services (631) 632-6748 or They will determine with you what accommodations are necessary and appropriate.
