Summary

This course systematically addresses the complex interplay between disability, science, medicine, and war through a lens of capitalist exploitation and technological advancement. By analyzing how predatory insurance industries commodify medical risks and perpetuate systemic inequities, students can critically examine the mechanisms that sustain violence and liberation pathways. The syllabus connects these theoretical frameworks to historical examples of genocide and capitalist dynamics, demonstrating how modern technology serves as a vehicle for both oppression and human potential. Through a Marxist interpretation, the course challenges the narrative of the modern world, urging students to view systems as products of production, not just outcomes of human action, and to explore the potential for dismantling structural inequalities that drive conflict and suffering across various spheres of life.
