Angela M. Carter (she/her) is one of the founding members of the CDSC and of Amplify MN: A Disability Justice Collective. As a Ronald E. McNair scholar, Angela M. Carter became a first-generation college graduate by earning her BA in English from Truman State University in 2009. In 2019, Dr. Carter completed her Ph.D. in Feminist Studies from the University of Minnesota. Broadly speaking, Angela’s academic interests include critical trauma studies, queer and crip theory, critical disability studies, and feminist epistemology. She is also a self-described pedagogy nerd. Angela’s work has appeared in Lateral and Disability Studies Quarterly, and she co-authored a chapter on navigating ableism in graduate school that was published in the anthology: Negotiating Disability: Disclosure and Higher Education. Angela has served as the Access and Inclusion Pedagogy Specialist with Minnesota Transform - a Mellon funded grant initiative engaging anti-colonial and racial justice work through the public humanities - as well as the Associate Director of Racial and Social Justice Education for the Office for Equity and Diversity. Amplify MN's community-cultivated artistry and dialogue centering disability justice may be found on their linktree.
