Focused on American disability history,
but quite a syllabus/resource. "Disability Histories"

From the course Website:

“You might wonder why people should care about disability history if they do not have
disabilities themselves. The truth is that over time, disability will affect the lives of most Americans.”
-An op-ed written by 12th graders,
The New York Times (5 September 2018)
