My head continues to move forward about the question of formal study of disabilities studies. I came across a quote in "Disability Rights and Wrongs Revisited" (Tom Shakespeare) that came at me like a lightning bolt. He was advocating for the study of disability studies from the sociology perspective. I went digging, and sure enough, there is a movement within sociology, looking at disabilities studies. So I am looking for an opportunity to do a PhD in sociology, that is somehow combined with disabilities studies. It's possible that I will do the MA at SPS first. Much to ponder. Time will tell.

You are part of CUNY right? Sociology Professors at CUNY Kingsborough Community College bring up Disability Studies and disability in their sociology classes. I don't know where you could take both together as classes or a course through. I always thought disability studies was kind of an offshoot of sociology....

Why three wheels?My name is Robin Brown. This is a picture of my "magic carpet." When I'm at work it's probably parked at the commuter rail station about a mile from my house. I get to ride three wheels because my right leg doesn't like to show up for work. I flunked riding two wheels. Archives
