Please share suggestions for film, books, songs, architecture, design, theater or similar that addresses issues of disabilities intelligently, with compassion, with bonus points for consideration of disability as an aesthetic.
These materials will inform a graduate urban planning studio focused on improving recreational access to trails in the Northeastern United States. The course will plan real world projects that will be implemented and that will have significant regional impact. A core component of the studio will include planning for consistency with the Americans With Disability Act (ADA) and consideration of Universal Design principles. Students will host in-person and virtual public outreach sessions for input on proposed designs, and the public engagement portion of the class must also be consistent with ADA best practices. I would like to include positive cultural references to disabilities and how they are accommodated throughout the course.
