Extractions: Site Map November 30, 1999 The National Endowment for the Humanities has added an institute on disability studies to its annual summer education program for teachers. The institute, open to college and university teachers, will examine disability as "an interdisciplinary category of analysis similar to race, gender, and ethnicity," according to directors Rosemarie Garland-Thomson and Paul Longmore. Over five weeks, 25 attendees will work with the faculty to develop strategies and identify resources to help integrate disability studies into their schools' undergraduate programs. Garland-Thomson, associate professor of English at Howard University, and Longmore, professor of history at San Francisco State University and director of the school's Institute on Disability, argue the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 has helped change the way people think about disabilities. This institute, they say, will push those conceptions to evolve further. "Colleges and universities have begun to understand disability as a diversity category, a pedagogical issue, a field of study, an identity and a civil rights mandate," Garland-Thomson and Longmore say in a letter to prospective institute participants. "The emergence of 'Disability Studies' is prompting teachers, administrators and students to recognize the pedagogical, scholarly and practical implications of integrating disability fully into all aspects of academe. In response, disability as both a concept and a constituency is entering the classroom."
