Disability Studies: An interdisciplinary field that critically examines the social, cultural, and political dimensions of disability. It explores how society constructs and responds to disability, and challenges ableism in various domains including education and physical education. It emphasizes the experiences and perspectives of individuals with disabilities and advocates for their full participation and inclusion in all aspects of society. Disability Studies draws from a wide range of disciplines such as sociology, psychology, anthropology, history, and philosophy to understand disability as a social phenomenon rather than an individual problem.
