Building a community of teaching, research, & activism about disability

The NYU Center for Disability Studies (CDS) promotes disability scholarship, artistry, and activism through: grant-funded interdisciplinary research, a public event series, local and international community collaborations, and facilitation of an undergraduate Disability Studies Minor. CDS also supports the NYU Disability Student Union and Provostial Working Group on Disability, Infrastructure and Accessibility (DIA). CDS launched in 2017 as a cross-school Provostial Center, building on ten years of activity by the NYU Council for the Study of Disability, funded by the Provost’s office in 2007.
