DISABILITY STUDIES

The Disability Studies Initiative at Emory is a working group generated across both departments and schools dedicated to interdisciplinary research and teaching related to disability (broadly construed). The Initiative is led by a group of faculty and students who are interested in the social, cultural, historical, political, and legal dimensions of disability in our world. Our mission is to promote the growth and increase the profile of Disability Studies at Emory University... We are devoted to developing scholarly and artistic programming that stimulates conversation across a range of disciplines, both within the Emory community and in the broader public. Participants in the initiative present works-in-progress; host visiting scholars, performers, and writers; plan film screenings, reading groups, and conferences; and provide networking and mentoring opportunities across disciplines. We also work collaboratively with other area institutions -- universities, museums, archives,..
