Disability studies is an academic field that typically brings interdisciplinary methods to bear on variety of questions around disability, including social, political, cultural, and economic aspects.

The first disability studies program was founded at Syracuse University in 1994.[1] As of 2013, some 35 colleges and universities have related programs, with the programs at Syracuse, City University of New York (CUNY), and University of Illinois at Chicago being among the best known.[1]
