ILRLR 2060: Writing Seminar in Law – Perspectives on Disability: Literature, Culture and Policy Sophomore Writing 3.0 HRS LET ONLY 15359 LEC 001 TR 0125-0240P IVS TBD A. Weiner This advanced writing seminar is designed to allow students to engage in a critical, in-depth study of the way in which people with disabilities and the disability experience are represented in an array of interdisciplinary texts. Drawing from literature, film, art, historical studies, medical journals and legal texts, we will explore the implications of disability in culture and policy, particularly as it impacts ideas of labor and the workplace. This seminar will question ideas about what constitutes a “normal” or “able” body, seeking instead to respond to global literary, philosophical, cultural and legal articulations of physical, mental, emotional, and sensory differences. We will engage various debates in disability studies in order to challenge assumptions and posit new models of (re)defining disability socially and politically. We will additionally allow for an intensive focus on the development of critical thought and reasoning in both oral and written communication, as well as in a final research project that engages in interdisciplinary, qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Martinez-Matsuda Explores the varied experiences of ethnic Mexican workers in the United States from the early Industrial Period to the contemporary debates concerning the transnational effects of migrant labor. We will examine both the formal and informal ways ethnic Mexican men and women have organized at a regional, national, and international level, and in both rural and urban settings, for fair employment and civil rights. Close attention will be given to several historical factors that have helped shape Mexican American working-class identity, including the role of: community-based unionism; intra-ethnic tensions related to generational differences, citizenship status, etc.; U.S. and Mexican state intervention in repressing and/or aiding workers’ movements; and cross-border organizing, beginning with its early radical traditions.

Bronfenbrenner Examines the evolution of American workplace in the past 20 years in the context of the global economy. Through a combination of nonfiction, fiction, workplace site visits, worker interviews, guest speakers, and weekly short writing assignments, students explore the changing nature of corporate structure, the workplace, the work process, and workers’ lives in a range of occupations in five different sectors of the economy: IT, manufacturing, public sector, health care, and casual labor.

Students examine what it meant to the immigrants themselves to arrive as strangers in the United States and the ways in which preexisting American groups defined these immigrants as “strangers.” Similarly, students look at U.S. citizens in their roles as greeters of immigrants, detractors of immigrants, and as models for the aspirations of immigrants.
