Sinopse

Disability History Overview explores the evolution of disability from a medical concern to a matter of human rights and social justice. This transformation includes analyzing how societal attitudes and medical theories have shaped the experience of disability across different eras. The book highlights the disability rights movement, showcasing the struggles and triumphs of disabled activists fighting for equality. Understanding this history is crucial for dismantling ableism and fostering a more equitable world.

 
The book examines the historical construction of disability, the impact of institutionalization, and the rise of disability rights movements. For example, large-scale institutions often subjected disabled individuals to dehumanizing conditions. The narrative progresses from pre-modern perspectives to contemporary challenges like accessibility and digital inclusion. It argues that disability is a social construct reflecting power dynamics, supported by historical documents and scholarly research. This perspective challenges traditional medical models and emphasizes social and political factors.

    Join leading social psychologists Roy Baumeister and Dianne Tice to discover what decades of data reveal about human sexuality. In this compelling audio series, renowned human behavior experts Roy Baumeister and Dianne Tice unravel the mysteries surrounding one of humanity’s most talked about but least understood forms of social interaction: sex. Playing the objective role of alien scientists observing human beings from outer space, they find patterns, puzzles, and paradoxes in how we make sexual decisions. Drawing on social psychology and even economics, they find new insights into age-old questions, such as:Do men really want to have sex more than women?Who is actually having lots of sex, and why?How has the internet changed sexual behavior?Why have so many societies tried to stifle female sexuality? In 19 eye-opening lectures, Drs. Tice and Baumeister delve into fascinating facts and findings to analyze human sexuality as a form of social interaction. While their discussions are strongly based in data about how mostly normal people make sexual decisions, they also explore larger issues about our sexual nature and motivations. This masterful audio course will answer all the questions you were afraid to ask and help you better understand human sexuality from a scientific vantage.This course is part of the Learn25 collection.
