University of Michigan Disability Studies Group

Join our listserv here: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/disability-studies-rackham-workshop The University of Michigan Disability Studies Group is a forum for students, faculty, staff, and community members interested in the growing interdisciplinary field of Disability Studies, which views disability as a cultural and minority identity. We encourage you to share current projects and ideas; ask

for feedback or advice on works in progress; and suggest or announce events relating to Disability Studies (lectures, performances, art exhibits, etc.). The goal of the group is to foster a supportive and collaborative scholarly and social community and to generate further dialogue on disability as both a critical category of analysis and a unique creative resource. This student-initiated forum is also a central venue for announcements from UMInDS (the University of Michigan Initiative on Disability Studies) and the Disability Cultures Salon. We are an official Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop. If you have submissions, questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel welcome to post or contact Crystal Yin Lie (English Language & Literature) — clie@umich.edu.
