This is a virtual mini-course on “Health, Deccolonization, and Disability in the Global South” centers the topic of coloniality and builds on prior course material (Grad 202) by exploring the production of race and disability as categories of Othering produced during programs/processes of colonization. In particular, this course builds on topics in a prior mini course “Colonial Legacies in Global Health” by focusing on topics such as disability in the Global South and decolonizing the health sciences. Throughout the course, careful attention will be paid to refining students’ use of broad terms such as "disability" versus "impairment", “colonial” versus “neo-colonial”, “decolonial” versus "anti-imperial" and will emphasize grounding students’ thinking around developing interventions linked to specific histories of colonization.
