Minute paper |
| 1.) |
On page 400, regarding basic features
of institutions, the authors state that "These seemingly ordinary arrangements
that structure our work days and work lives are not the inevitable form
of organizations, but rather are deeply rooted in historical divisions
of labor between classes, genders, racial groups, and people with and without
disabilities." What do you understand the authors to be saying here? |
| 2.) |
Can you provide any examples of how this
statement might pertain to schools? |
| 3.) |
The purpose of the authors in this articles
was to "ask how and why organizations resist making reasonable accommodations
for employees" (p. 398-9). Do you feel they make their case clearly? What
seemed to be their main arguments? Were they convincing? |
| 4.) |
What does this article have to do with
the social construction of disability? |
| 5.) |
