Scripted Curriculum: What Movies Teach about Black, Dis/abled Males

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This article examines the complexity of portrayals of Black (dis/abled) males that are scripted through dis/ability tropes and master-narratives of race and gender. Trends in these portrayals are juxtaposed with literature on how Black, (dis/abled) male students are treated in schools and society.
