Disability [R]evolution - Call for submissions (agw.ca)

The Disability Studies program in the School of Social Work is proud to co-sponsor the Art Gallery of Windsor’s upcoming community exhibition: Disability [R]evolution.

The Art Gallery of Windsor is looking for submissions of creative work from members of the disability community across Windsor-Essex for our upcoming community exhibition. Members of the disability community of all ages and artistic experiences are welcome to participate. Participants who submit work can submit to one of two themes: Time Capsule (If you could create a time capsule filled with artifacts for a future that you want to see for people with disabilities, what would you include?) or Exhibition Response (Choose an artist or an artwork from our exhibition Crip Ecologies: Vulnerable Bodies in a Toxic Landscape and create a response to it). The deadline to submit work is March 11th, 2022. If you require help/accommodations to submit your work, please email Abbey Lee Hallett at ahallett@agw.ca.

Important Information on Disability Studies core course change

The core Disability Studies course DISB 3010 has been moved to second year, and renamed DISB 2010, "Disability Studies: Theory and Culture". This means students can now take this core Disability Studies course in the Fall of their second year, and DISB 3010 is no longer offered but has been replaced with DISB 2010.
Students are asked to follow the revised course study plans. They can be found under Disability Studies program on our website - https://www.uwindsor.ca/disabilitystudies/297/disability-studies-programs
