Two Events Examine Disability and Human Rights


The Center for Persons with Disabilities at Utah State University continues its 40th Anniversary Celebration with a look at disability and human rights. Two events will examine the place of disability and advocacy in history.

The Exhibit, January 9-27

An exhibit on the history of disability and advocacy in the western world will be available in Special Collections at the Merrill-Cazier Library.
It includes panels that outline the history of disability and advocacy. This walk through 3000 years of the human condition is remarkably detailed. It’s sometimes shocking, sometimes poignant, and always informative.

For example, it reveals a dark side to the Greek tradition that revered perfection in the human body: Aristotle also recommended that there should be a law “to prevent the rearing of deformed children.” In his Politics, Aristotle wrote, “As to the exposure and rearing of children, let there be a law that no deformed child shall live.”
