Disability studies is an academic discipline that examines the meaning, nature, and consequences of disability, as a social construct. Initially the field focused on the division between "impairment" and "disability". Here impairment was interpreted as impairment of an individual's mind or body, while disability is considered a social construction. This premise gave is the basis of two distinct models of understanding of disability - the social and medical models of disability. In 1999 the social model was universally accepted as the model preferred by the field. However, in recent years, the division between the social and medical models has been challenged.〔 Additionally there has been an increased focus on interdisciplinary research.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.disstudies.org/about/what_is_ds )〕 For example, recent investigations suggest using "cross-sectional markers of stratification" 〔Siordia C. (2014). Disability Prevalence According to a Class, Race, and Sex (CRS) Hypothesis. Journal of Racial & Ethnic Health Disparities, DOI: 10.1007/s40615-014-0073-8.〕 may help provide new insights on the non-random distribution of risk factors capable of acerbating disablement processes. Disability studies courses include work in disability history, theory, legislation, policy, ethics and the arts. However, students are taught to focus is the lived experiences of individuals with disabilities. In practical terms. the field is focused on increasing individuals with disabilities access to civil rights and improving their quality of life. Disability studies emerged in the 1980s. In 1986, the Section for the Study of Chronic Illness, Impairment, and Disability of the Social Science Association was renamed the Society for Disability Studies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.disstudies.org/about/mission-and-history )〕 The first US disabilities studies program emerged in 1994, at Syracuse University.〔 The first edition of the Disabilities Studies Reader (one of the first collections of academic papers related to disability studies) was published in that same year. The field grew rapidly in the over the next ten years. In 2005, the Modern Language Association established disability studies as a “division of study.” 〔 ==History== Universities have long studied disabilities from a clinical perspective.〔 In 1986 the Section for the Study of Chronic Illness, Impairment, and Disability of Social Science Association was renamed the Society for Disability Studies〔 and its journal "Disability Studies Quarterly" was the first journal in disability studies. The first US disabilities studies program emerged in 1994, at Syracuse University.〔 However, courses and programs were very few. In the 1996 first edition of the "Disability Studies Reader" Lennard J. Davis wrote that "it had been virtually impossible to have someone teaching about disability within the humanities". In the second edition, written ten years later, he writes that "all that has changed", but "just because disability studies is on the map, does not mean that is easy to find".〔 Still the field continued to grow throughout the 2000s. In 2009 Disability Studies Quarterly published a A Multinational Review of English-language Disability Studies Degrees and Courses. Their found that from 2003 to 2008 the number of disability studies stand alone studies courses in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada grew from 56 to 108 and the number of degree granting courses grew from 212 to 420. A total of 17 degrees in disability studies were offered, with 11 programs in the US, 2 in the UK, 3 in Canada, and one in Australia. A 2014 New York Times article "Disability Studies: A New Normal" suggests that the expansion in disability studies programs is related to the 1990 passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Those raised after the passage of the ADA have entered colleges and the workforce, as Disability Studies has grown. In a 2014 article, Disability Studies Quarterly published an analysis on the relationships between student run groups and disability studies, from 2008 to 2012. Their article analyzes groups at four different universities and describes how professors have incorporated student activism into their curriculum and research. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「disability studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
