Who counts as worthy of sympathy and charity? Who counts as “disabled” in the fi rst place? These are the questions that Melville’s ninth book asks through its representation of dis- abled characters. In recent years, disability studies scholarship has led critics to notice the cultural and historical signifi cance of disability represented in Melville’s works.2 Among others, David Mitchell and Sharon Snyder’s and Ellen Samuels’s analyses have contributed signifi cantly to the understanding of The Confi dence-Man’s treatment of disability. Building on such developments, this essay interrogates The Confi - dence-Man’s engagement with disability by focusing on its situatedness in pub- lic space. Disabled bodies in the novel appear not in enclosed institutions, but in the open public space that is the riverboat Fidèle. -

WESTERGARD REVIEWED.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 3/26/2020 9:39 AM Unfit to Be Seen: Customer Preferences and the Americans with Disabilities Act ABSTRACT Disability discrimination is a persistent and pervasive problem. Its history in the United States stretches from the "ugly laws" of the late- 1800s to modern-day employment discrimination. In general, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits employers from dis- criminating against disabled employees and job applicants. Employers often disregard this law, however, in order to cater to the untoward preferences of their customers. In theory, customer preferences are not a defense to discrimination, unless they pertain to safety, privacy, or authenticity. In practice, however, many courts seem to recognize an unseemly fourth exception to the general rule against customer pref- erence-based defenses. This occurs when disabled persons are deemed "unfit to be seen." This Note first chronicles the history of the ADA and the eco- nomic and psychological realities of customer preference-based de- fenses. -
