The passage of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) was heralded by many as a major victory for disability rights, as it fortifies the principle of substantive equality for people with disabilities as an important international goal that all signatory countries must strive to achieve. But has it done this? Illustrate the shortcomings of the CRPD through the examination of its implementation in a country in the Global South of your choosing. Can the CRPD be considered successful in the Global North? Why or why not? Use the example of disability rights in a country in the Global North to support your comparison and argument.

In class this semester we have examined many models used for understanding and situating disability: The Biomedical Model, Social Model, Socio-Political Model and the NAGI Disablement Model. How do each of these Models contribute to our understanding of disability? In what way(s) are these models problematic and criticized by disability activists? How do latent colonial normativity assumptions and practices impact these models and their frameworks? READINGS FOR THIS QUESTION- Gray.PDF Linton.PDF Lecture 2 PowerPoint Barnes. PDF DRPI. PDF
