Earlier this year I had a Core Discovery class approved for this Fall. A Core Discovery course is a yearlong course for freshmen that focuses on critical thinking and interdisciplinary learning across particular topic areas. There's actually only 10 or so of these classes, so it's kinda cool to have the opportunity to teach one on disability studies issues for a year. The course is entitled "What is Normal Anyway?: Disability, Difference, and Society"...
But getting to my point, I have only offered one section of this class. Each section has a cap of 35 students. My one section has already reached it's cap and I have 7 students on a waiting list, so I'm trying to decide if I should be really ambitious and volunteer to teach another section. It would be a lot of work, but if I can fill two sections if might show a significant demand for disability studies related content and provide demand data that could be used to get a formal Disability Studies program approved. But am I up to the work?
