The Critical Disability Studies Collective (CDSC) is an organization at the University of Minnesota. We aim to promote a complex understanding of disability and to advance critical disability studies as an interdisciplinary field of inquiry.

The CDSC regularly hosts reading groups, guest speakers, panel sessions, workshops, and colloquium series.
