Program Description:

Disability Accessibility in the World Now and Then:  Luxembourg City, Luxembourg; Leuven, Belgium; and Berlin, Germany

Luxembourgh
May 13-27, 2024
Led by Professor Kara Dorris and Jessica Edonick

Travel and sightsee across Europe, visiting cities in Luxembourg, Belgium, and Germany that have earned recognition for their initiatives to be more inclusive and accessible.  You will discover how these cities design for disability through architecture as well as through social programming.  In addition to experiencing the current situation of disability, you will also learn about the troubling past that includes eugenics and experimentation during the Nazi regime.  From the past to the present, students will become aware of the constant exclusion and segregation of disabled people and, hopefully, be motivated to work towards an inclusive and equal future.
