Welcome to Mobilizing Critical
Disability Studies For Change

The Mobilizing Critical Disability Studies for Change website (“Mobilizing CDS”) is a gathering space for people interested in mutual knowledge and resource sharing to support the use of critical disability studies (CDS) perspectives in areas where those perspectives are often missing.

 

Mobilizing CDS is a collective of scholars / activists / community people who critically question ableism and intersecting oppressions.* This network is multi-disciplinary, intersectional, and community-informed and often led. This group includes people who self-identify as disabled, mad, fat, sex- and gender-diverse, neurodiverse, autistic d/Deaf, living with environmental sensitivities or chronic illness, and allies.
