UQAM launches graduate program in disability and deafness

Université du Québec à Montréal is offering a graduate program in disability and deafness, which the university says is first for a Francophone institution. Students in the program will complete three courses and will be taught about the promotion and exercise of citizenship for those with disabilities or deaf people. There is a notable need for the program, according to UQAM School of Media Professor Mouloud Boukala, in order to combat the violation of the rights of people with disabilities.
