Disability and Mad Studies Reading Group

A collaboration of graduate and undergraduate students and recent alumni has received SPICES funding from the School of Graduate Studies to establish a Disability and Mad Studies Reading Group. The group endeavors to cultivate an accessible social and intellectual disability community on campus for those with disabilities, developing Disability Studies scholarship, and/or interested in learning more. Anyone is welcome to participate, including community members without affiliations to McMaster. To receive updates and meeting invitations, email Alise and Alan at cripgrad@mcmaster.ca to join our mailing list. Please get in touch if you would be interested in co/facilitating a future session!
