The Disability Anthropology Working Group brings together graduate students, faculty and other interested scholars whose research relates to the theme of disability in order to build a scholarly community and engage a wider academic public in disability theory and practice. Partnering with the Ethnography Lab, the working group facilitates the creation of a space to critically engage with ethnographic methods and ask how disability challenges many core tenets of anthropological inquiry.

Our monthly reading group is open to all. Each month we chose an ethnography related to disability to discuss over coffee and snacks. Please feel free to join, even if your work is only peripherally related or if you are not able to read the whole book.
