Unit 1: Introduction

Description: "This webinar will help educators navigate preconceptions about medieval disability and illuminate the heritage of disability. By the end, educators will be able to teach about disability heritage using examples of individuals with disabilities, their experiences, and how they were treated in the past; how the field of disability studies applies to the Middle Ages; and how historical disability helps us understand and discuss modern disability."

Description: "Lucie Laumonier talks to Adelheid Russenberger, a PhD candidate in history at Queen Mary University of London, England, about medieval disabilities and what it meant, in the Middle Ages, to be disabled."
