It’s happening!
After submitting a full proposal for the institute at the beginning of Summer 2021 and lengthy negotiation with the Provost’s office, the Disability Studies and Action Collaborative is pleased to announce that the Provost’s office has agreed to establish our new Institute for Critical Disability Studies for Spring 2022 and Fall 2022.
Our next stages in the institute formation include selection of interim co-directors for the institute to work with the Interim Advisory Council and the DS Steering Committee during Spring and Summer 2022; working on institute bylaws including organization and committee structures; and to hold a formal search process for two co-director roles to start in Fall 2022.
We are looking forward to building community alongside these administrative elements by continuing to hold events, from student-centered engagements to faculty-facing professional development opportunities.
Thank you for joining us as we continue this exciting journey!
