Join Us

​​

The DAC is growing day by day, and we'd love to have you join us if you identify as a disabled academic! We currently host the Collective on a Discord server. To make sure that we're receiving application from real people, we ask that you use the "Contact" form below. Please email a short message explaining why you'd like to join. You can email us something as simple as "Hi, I'm a disabled academic and I'd like to join the DAC." Lengthier emails are also welcome, as they help us gauge how you found out about us and how we might evolve to best serve you in your particular discipline or career stage.

​​

Our Discord was designed by and for disabled individuals. It's a space to openly chat about challenges, receive community support, and boost your academic work. We have spaces to track productivity and set goals, threads about securing accommodations, and we regularly post opportunities for fellowships, conferences, and job openings. Right now, we have a weekly writing group, bi-weekly coffee hours, and we are running a "Summer Skill Share" workshop series in the Summer of 2025. 

​​

If you are a non-disabled ally, we cannot extend membership to you, but we'd be delighted to hear from you by email. Please feel free to send us job listings, conference CFPs, manuscript CFAs, and event advertisements! The admins will make sure that emails sent to our collective are properly shared with all our members.
