Scholars Week Events for Students
The Institute for Critical Disability Studies is hosting its WWU Scholars Week events for students. We are so excited to show off all of the amazing work that has been happening in our DISA courses, our electives hosted around the university, and beyond!
Any student is invited to participate, though we will give special priority to students from the Critical Disability Studies minor. We will have two features for this year’s Scholars Week.
ICDS Digital Student Archive
We have launched a new digital platform to archive the work our students do every year through WWU’s CEDAR system. Submissions can be in any form and any length, including essays, reports, posters, videos, audio recordings, and websites. These pieces will live on this public archive where others can enjoy them into the future. All work is welcome.
ICDS Scholars Week Panel
We will hold a hybrid online and in-person event during Scholars Week in May 2025. We will ask everyone who participates to give a 5-10 minute presentation. You can either read your work aloud or show a pre-recorded video. If you have other kinds of work you want to share, such as if you want to display visual art or you want to stage a performance, just let us know in the form below. Note that we are prioritizing work that was completed between Spring 2024 and Winter 2025.
Want to Join In?
The ICDS Scholars Week Committee is accepting submissions until April 15th, 2025 at 11:59pm using the form below. Student Panel presenters who submit by the early deadline can also receive coaching and feedback from the committee.
