initiative

Since 2015, the Critical Disability Studies Collective (CDSC) has fostered a thriving academic community around interdisciplinary, intersectional, and transnational approaches to studying disability. We've collaborated with numerous partners to hold reading/writing groups, symposia, visiting speakers, pedagogy workshops, and more. We believe the time is ripe to build infrastructure and long-term commitment for a degree-granting critical disability studies program at UMN.
