Screenshot of a short column from the journal that reads, “During the winter campaign a body of Russian troops was engaged in a serious encounter with the Germans. At the height of the attack a pack of wolves descended on the field and began to devour the wounded. Instantly the combatants ceased fighting and fell upon the wolves, putting them to flight. The enemies then returned each to his own trenches without further molestation of the other.”

Prerequisite for this elective course: 3 credit hours of history Fulfills SUNY Gen Ed - US History and Civic Engagement "Disability is everywhere in history, once you begin to look for it, but conspicuously absent in the histories we write." - Douglas C. Baynton, Historian This course introduces students to the field of disability history through the lived experiences of disabled people, and offers new interpretations of historical themes such as immigration, war and veterans, medicine, politics and social activism, capitalism and labor, and imperialism. We will explore the social, medical, and cultural constructions of disability from the colonial era to the present, and will examine how disability has intersected with other identities such as race, class, and gender.”
