FONSFAQ: Disability History
Apr. 20th, 2011 06:11 pm![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
troubleA bunch of awesome people I know are doing Three Weeks for Dreamwidth where they are accepting prompts and will write answers to questions about their topics. This started with dingsi. There is a master list!
(FONSFAQ: Frequently (Or Not So Frequently) Asked Question)
I thought I would love to be asked (and answer) questions about disability history! Because I love it like ice cream.
(In fact, you'd be doing me a huge favour by asking these questions. Don & I are playing around with an idea about a disability history related podcast this summer, and having some idea what people might be interested in knowing would be helpful.)
Things I do not know the answers to easily, I will happily research.
Please leave prompts! Preferred style would be PROMPT in the subject heading of the comment, but don't fret the details. Also, please feel free to signal boost this, as I would love an excuse to talk about my interests with everyone in the world. All the time. (Also, feel free to leave multiple prompts.)
check out Dingsi's prompt page for more ideas.
ETA: I forgot to tell people that they are welcome to claim and write about any of these! Please don't take my comments as claiming them for just me. It's a huge field, and I would love to see other people's responses. :D

Prompt: schoolchildren
Date: 2011-04-24 03:50 am (UTC)Optional/potential tangential bits: What were some of the worst methods inflicted on children, and what finally made them change? Why were they used in the first place? Are any of the worst methods still used? What kinds of differences existed between public schools & private schools? Between physical & mental/emotional disabilities? (How) Have media portrayals of disabilities affected how children with disabilities are treated?
