How the concepts of intersectionality and privilege relate

Discussion Post: People with Disabilities

In this materials, we're exploring key concepts associated with disability and disability rights. Something you may have noticed as we have examined different kinds of diversity in this course is that in all these categories, there is an assumption about which state is "normal." Last week, we saw that many white people don't necessarily see themselves as having a race, because white is the "normal" category. Because of this, the experiences of Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, and other non-white people can be invisible. In a similar way, our culture views non-disabled people as normal and may make the experiences of disabled people invisible. I encourage you to consider this idea as you work through the material this week.

Using at least 2 of the required resources, answer the following questions:

Question 1) In one of the readings, Davis (2015) argues that disability is often left out of discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Why do you think this might be?

Question 2) What does the term "TAB" (temporarily able-bodied) mean in the context of disability studies? What does this term add to your understanding of disability?

Question 3) How might the concepts of intersectionality and privilege relate to the experiences of people with disabilities? Give at least two examples.
