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 form below to reach out. 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 new members in their particular disciplines or career stages.

​​​

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, a film/tv watching group, and sporadic coffee hours across the semester to hang out synchronously. 

​​

If you are a non-disabled ally, please bookmark this page for your use and consider subscribing to our email list (on our home page). Feel free to send us job listings, conference CFPs, manuscript CFAs, and event advertisements! Admins will make sure that emails sent to our collective are properly shared with all our members.
