Students watch a documentary from the series entitled Examined Life featuring Judith Butler and Sunaura Taylor. We talk about movement and disability. Types of movement. Body types that can be used in a non-normative ways.  Traveling rises our awareness of interdependence, boundaries and freedom. We make a distinction between disability and impairment and refer to interabled relationships.
